[QUOTE="fats1964, post: 797637, member: 879"] Hi.. Im type 2 im told, though the lowest my sugars have been in the last year is 8.7 I have only just realised I have been having false hypos for years...I am comfortable at around 15, but when levels get down around 10 I am really irritated, angry and searching for junk, shaking, going dizzy etc..Told 2 doctors who rubbished it, I really cant see a way out as I seem to be hooked on junk or just filling up to take it off.. not least ive other complications, and life is ****...memory is so bad I cant piece together any routine or plan, even worse cos im on low amount of benefits...Ive sort of had enough, not least ive had depression for a long time.. But I first noticed these false hypos last summer, i was filling up on salads etc, and no matter how much I had I would get extremely hungry and coud not control it.. tell you something it was easier to stop smoking, but this is a serious hindrance to my life, not least cos Doctors have been useless apart from saying diet.. and not knowing what false hypos are... it was only a woman i met who turned out to be a diabetic nurse that told me,. I even asked about going on insulin but refused...tried victoza but had reactions to it...reckon ive been fobbed off for years by NHS, ive really had enough...banging headaches, tinnitus, aches, pains, weakness bad memory and concentration, had to stop work..but I cant control the eating, eveb without any junk or processed food in the house, i get to a certain point then find to will to go and buy junk, which solves the urge..then of course feel guilty and start all over again - every day its the same..... Recently had Forxiga for 3 montsh and its not done a thing, as my body seems to find a way to get back to the previous "state" yes I know I am in control, but when Im going dizzy and pounding headaches I cant fight em...I feel so useless... slightest thing stresses me, I dont really have a social life, my son lives with me but leaving soon, though overall he stresses me more... Just wish I could sleep for weeks or months..ive so had enough... even last year I had months juicing, salads, etc. my sugars never got below 12.. and it makes no difference if i take metformin etc our local diabetic nurses are so overstretched they might as well not exist [/QUOTE]
