I am type 2, take 1x500mg glucophage twice a day. I was low carb for a while, but when started on Metformin 3 months ago the nurse told me to reintroduce carbs. I did, but not too much. However over the last month i have slipped back to old ways. Yesterday I bought a large squashy fresh baked white loaf and ate far more than I should last night. This morning I had a slice toasted for breakfast. Then at 11.30 I experienced what feels like a hypo to me (I used to have this sometimes when my blood sugars werent controlled very well). However I checked and my reading was 11! I felt shaky and very hungry and dizzy. As I'm not allowed many test strips the nurse told me not to check my bs daily so I don't know what my levels have been like lately. Could the bread have caused spikes then drops then a liver dump - would this explain the rollercoaster of sensations? I do suffer from panic attacks which I have often said feel very much like a hypo , I am know beginning to wonder if many of my panic attacks over the years which seemed to come out of nowhere, were related to my blood sugar levels? I just read an article about the effects on adrenaline on the blood sugar and am questioning if my anxiety, panic attacks and diabetes could be linked?  Does anyone have any insight? I do also have a mild cold at the moment.</p></blockquote><p></p>
