Hi, my name is Fran and I am a 55 yr old woman with type 2 diabetes. I was diagnosed in January 2007. I have been off all meds since November 2009. My blood sugar was low more often than high, so when I lost weight my doc said I could control it with my diet. So, I did.
My problem today is, for the second time in a month my bs has crashed for no apparent reason. I know that I have had a "bunch" of carbs today. My food today hasn't been "great". I am very tired from working a lot of overtime (13 hrs a day Mon-Fri, 6 hrs (or more) Sat & Sun) and I don't have much of an appetite. Anyway, I ran out of test strips, but I know what it feels like to have low blood sugar ... been there, done that ... too many times. I just don't understand why I am having problems.
I decided to join this forum to get info from those "in the know". I hope I'm in the right place.
