I thought I'd share a couple of things that are puzzling me about my diabetes right now:
1) Everytime I go near a supermarket my BGL drops too low. I got there today and thought I'd better test before I step inside the store... just one look at the entrance and my BGL was sitting on 4.7... I knew what that meant... if I didn't eat something to get it up a little I'd be having a hypo in the damn store again. I'm not sure if it's the colour, the smell, the lighting? It's a bit of a mystery.
2) I'm still having hypos at night and I'm literally worn out physically and mentally and since coming back from Sydney last week I've got nerve pain everywhere and my eyes are twitching. I don't seem to be waking up fully for these hypos I'm having. I half woke up early hours this morning and I felt hypo but instead of fully waking up I drop quickly back off to sleep. I'm just a bit concerned about the falling asleep bit. I have adjusted my basal a couple of times already but I just can't get it right still. Mind you my stomach is still not sorted and is playing up a lot and I reckon it's playing a big part in the rollercoaster ride I'm having with my BGLs. I think how I'm currently feeling is from having too many hypos? I really don't know
...I'm looking forward to feeling some sort of normality again.
Has anyone else had either experience? Care to share what you did or what you have done that helps?
