How Can Diabetes Be Managed?
Hi i=l am a type 1 diabetic and usually very good with my blood glucose levels averaging 7.2.However i V and D friday night to late saturday morning.Since the syptoms have stopped l have eaten small ammounts of food but have drunk plenty of water so feel a bit better.My problem is my sugar readings taken every hour and a half during the day is ranging from 18 the lowest up to 27 which seems impossible on the meagre ammounts of food ; am eating like toast banana creal. i increase my novorapid by double ie 30 and wait then test again and it may drop to 17.Do you think that my system will stabalize back to where it was and is there anything that l can do to assist. Many Thanks David

Hello,
Your readings are right, but you need to understand about glycemic load, and glycemic index was in each food product have a different value and hence, each test value differs and digestion.
Stress also places a different role, so I suggest maintaining a one-time glucose test and managing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
