[QUOTE="Marcus1234, post: 1813392, member: 476626"] Hi MrsGruffy, thanks for your reply. Since getting my BG monitor I've felt 10 times worse. my dizziness extreme fatigue, eyes feeling heavy is 10 times worse after eating, but is also happening when I'm getting hungry. I am questioning myself on how much of this is in my head and how much is real. I have done several readings and really don't know what is happening, I am getting high, low, normal. I don't know what is good and what is bad, I have browsed the internet and seem to be getting mixed messages. My readings have been, highest 234 -13 and lowest 100-5.7, I did a fasting one this morning which was 138-7.7, my BG had dropped to 100-5.7 when I tested again 8 hours later when I finished work. For my tea I ate grilled pork chop, salad 2 slices x whole seeded bread and 1 satsuma my BG had shot up to 203-11 immediately after eating. I tested again 1 hour after eating my BG was 231-12.8. I will try the grounding exercise and see if this can help me. I already use deep breathing techniques and relaxation but when its fixed in my head that I may have to see a doctor I find it hard to get away from. I was going to visit A&E but then I thought they may want to admit me which would send me over the edge. I don't think we have telehealth but is something I will certainly look into [/QUOTE]
