[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2171710, member: 506169"] Hi jan, Whoever told you that stress doesn't increase blood Glucose doesn't know what they are talking about! All the following (and more) can increase BG: 1. Stress 2. Infection 3. Injury 4. Medication 5. Lack of Sleep 6. Vigorous exercise (temporarily) 7. Sugars and Carbohydrates - which pretty much are always guaranteed to raise Blood Glucose. Please let us know exactly which medication(s) you are on. Unless we know that, any advice will be very general and may conflict with your medication. Until then I can only sympathise with your awful situation. But don't despair, Type 2 Diabetes (unlike Type 1) can be firmly placed in remission - so all those nasty complications (retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy etc) can all be avoided! [B]Edited to say: [/B]Doing what you are told by a GP or Diabetes Nurse isn't always a good thing. - If I had just done as I was told I would still have (full) Type 2, be on at least 1 medication and would probably be about 3 stones heavier!
