Last November my diabetes went a bit berserk. One reading was 31.
No matter how much I tried I couldn't get down below 11.
Taking a reading before breakfast and 2 hours after my readings were anything from17 to 20. Panic is not the word. My poor gp, when I phoned her, thought there was something seriously wrong. Between us we decided to double my gliclazide. Then I found a lump in my boob. Had the op to remove it but need to have further surgery, chemo and then radio therapy. Long story short my bg is still high. My before breakfast reading is between 14 and 17 and 2 hours later can be the same. As the day progresses it come down slowly upto about 1pm then it declines quicker to 3pm when my reading is 3.5-4 and feeling very hypo. I then have something sugary, a coffee with sugar or something like that, then I have my main meal at night when my reading before dinner is about 5-6' then 2 hours after it's back upto 14-17.
Could it be my situation that's causing this or do I need to visit my gp again?
