As you know I'm just getting over a nasty stomach bug that lasted most of last week. My eating has almost returned to normal but I'm having trouble keeping my levels up. Any ideas?
Yesterday for example my fasting level was 4.6 which is becoming the norm for me. I had my usual breakfast and snack and I felt a hypo coming on before lunch with my bs dropping very quickly to 4.4. I had another similar experience later in the evening.
I woke at 2.30am and checked my bs and it was 5.1. I ate a couple of Brazil nuts. At 6.30am it was 6.1 and at 7am it was 4.8.
I've just eaten my lunch of salmon and prawn salad. Felt fine before eating and didn't check my bs but an hour and a half after eating I'm 5.0 and feeling like there's a hypo looming again.
Don't really know what to do about it. I've eaten a biscuit and will follow up with something low carb in a minute.
