[QUOTE="Marcus1234, post: 1813448, member: 476626"] I never thought for 1 minute that satsumas and healthy bread would raise blood glucose and that I may be testing at the wrong time. The reason I tested straight after my meal was because of the way I was feeling, which was heavy headed, dizzy and extremely tired. Since I've got the monitor the symptoms are worse 10 fold. Maybe that is down to my health anxiety. I have suffered with health anxiety for many years and it can destroy a person. An everyday individual will go to the doctors and not give it a second thought, unfortunately I cannot and the thought of it can make me physically vomit and shake uncontrollably. If you read my first post, I said that I am waiting for an appointment with CBT specialist who will hopefully change my way of thinking that will enable me to go to the doctors and be like a normal person. (I'm still waiting for the appointment) I'm not a little boy, I am a grown man with a good job, my own home and a good family, if you saw me you would not think for a second that I could suffer health anxiety because over the years I have become an expert at hiding it. Thank you all for your replies and I will continue on improving my diet and monitoring my BG, [/QUOTE]
