[QUOTE="SheilaCanning, post: 2702525, member: 537574"] I've been managing my Type 2 diabetes with a low carb diet for the last 3 years. I finger prick at least twice a day - morning before food and evening before dinner and then if I feel a bit low or high I will check. My morning read is always high between 7.4 and 8.4 and my pre-dinner read is usually between 6 & 7. My last HbA1c was 6.2 on thise readings so I know I am keeping steady. I haven't had an HBA1C for two years though so I am going to call the GP and ask for one. The last few days my morning reading has been really crazy high. This morning it was 11.5. Yesterday it was 10.5. Yesterday I ate a plain greek yogurt and went for a 2 mile walk. When I got back and retested it had only gone to 9. Often, if I do a 1 mile walk it will shift down to 5.4 from 8 so I really don't know what's happening. I did not eat anything "bad" yesterday. I exercised. I drank water. I figured it was high because during the week I celebrated my son's birthday with dinner out and birthday cake (such a teeny bit of cake). It should have normalised by now. Also, I have been getting aches in my arms and legs - I assumed related to hormones as I'm in the midst of menopausal madness. Is tehre any connection to diabetes? Grateful for your thoughts and advice. [/QUOTE]
