[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1673862, member: 94045"] Hi and welcome, I 100% agree with all the others - you need a meter and you need to test. Testing before and after meals tells you at a glance what that food has done to you, and you will be in for many shocks along the way. (Your butties and weetabix most likely will have to be off your menu when you start to test as they are very high carb and will cause your blood sugar levels to rise) Your funny turn may well be your heart issues as you said. It could be a false hypo, but unlikely unless you have drastically reduced your carbohydrate intake (and weetabix and butties suggest you haven't), it could equally have been high glucose levels as the symptoms are very similar. If it keeps happening, maybe its time to see your doctor .... but is definitely time to buy a meter. If it was high glucose (like a big sugar rush) then you need to know, and if it was genuinely a hypo of some description, you also need to know. Any meds you take for your heart issues may not be helping with glucose levels depending what they are. Have a good read round, and ask as many questions as you like. [/QUOTE]
