What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

That sounds like a medical emergency...

 

Is that a normal situation for you? Are you on medication? Because if the answer to either of those questions is 'yes', I think you need to speak to your DN...

 

Good idea to seek advice from nurse and wait for next HbA1c to prove her right. Good luck.

 

LOL, did you feel light headed with such low numbers. If this continues, the seek advice from medical professionals.

 

My fbs this morning was 4.9 so am pretty pleased.

 

Keesha Hi. Dropping the Gliclazide and returning to 8 units Lantus last night resulted in a higher reading of 6.1 fasting this morning. Yesterday the reading was 4.2 with the Gliclazide and 7 units of Lantus the night before! zzz It's doing my head in! lol

 

"You are entering a state of hypoglycemia when blood glucose levels drop below 60 to 65 mg/dL (3.3 to 3.6 mmol/L) you are entering a state of hypoglycemia. If not treated at the first signs of hypoglycemia you run the risk of finding yourself in the middle of a very dangerous medical emergency. If your blood glucose level is allowed to drop below 2.7 mmol/l you can suffer a progressive loss of mental function which will eventually lead to unconsciousness and seizures. Immediate medical assistance is critical in the more severe cases because damage can occur to the brain and other tissues of the body. In some of the more extreme instances of hypoglycemia a person can even enter a coma or die." Source: Diabetes Management 101.com
Are you sure your readings are correct, @Jodie1154 ?

 

Mine was 3.9 at 6.15 this morning

 

As long as your fbs is within range, then you are on the right track. Hope things will work out eventually for you and I am sure it will. All the very best to you.

 

Hi there
Wow very impressive numbers, my waking sugars are between 6 and 9 , I thought that was good as my hba1c figures are about
6.4 but you guys seem to be doing very well . I am on insulin , are your hba1c numbers good too ?

In a word, no!

 

My last hba1c was 38 God alone knows what the next one will be I don't.

 

Morning FBG 7.1

 

Fantastic !

I too am cutting down on the carbs big time

Have to say love your weight loss @4ratbags

 

@ellagy I consider myself lucky, when I was diagnosed I was too sick to eat anything that wasnt good for me so it really helped. Also Ive always wanted to ask you when you were diagnosed, I access the forum on my phone and a lot of the additional information ect doesnt show up.

 

@4ratbags I was diagnosed in 2002 which might just have saved my life. On a visit to the DN she noticed I was rubbing my chest and suggested she do a ECG. Which showed a heart attack, she phoned an ambulance! I will be eternally grateful to her.

 

@ellagy angels come in all forms, how lucky for you she was so observant.

 

8 grrrr. I hate this dawn phenomenon thing but was pleased to be down to 6 by 10 a.m. and 5 two hours after lunch.

 

They certainly do @4ratbags. She said it was because she recognised what her mum did when she was having heart problems.
