Woke up about 5am feeling hungry & had a headache so I had a diabetic jam sandwich on wholemeal with a cuppa & some headache pills & went back to bed. About 10am I had 2 boiled eggs & mackerel in tomatoe sauce. I had to go out to work for a few hours & didn't have anything apart from a few normal mints. Got home about 3ish & had sliced chicken & some salad.
I thought I was doing ok, watching the carbs etc. but a couple of hours later I started feeling extremely tired & got another headache. Took some more headache pills. I thought it was just because I'd been busy. But then I started to feel hypo, fuzzy head, tingling mouth & tongue. So I treated it with a few jelly babies & made some beans on wholemeal toast.
I don't know where I went wrong. I thought I'd done quite well but obviously not.
I'm so confused I doubt I'll ever get used to this.
I am expecting a monitor through the post but until then I can't test myself to see exactley what my levels are.
I'm type 2 on Metformin 500mg twice a day.
