What did I do wrong?

[bopeep12300]

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.

Difficult to give advice without seeing BG levels. Your meal of eggs etc contain very minimal carbs which may have cause you to feel slightly low but if you are only on metformin this is not a drug that normally lowers BG levels so I doubt it was an actual hypo, may have just felt like one. You'll know more when you are able to test. Good luck !
