Thank you for your query. Treating diabetes and getting your sugars under good control is very tricky. Especially when you are on medications. What you described points to a hypoglycemic episode. You did the right thing in this scenario. The solution is to prevent further episodes. There are a lot of dos & don ts especially in what you eat that can confuse anyone. What you need to know: - most medications for diabetes acts even if you have normal glucose or haven t eaten. This results in dangerously low values - try to eat your meals /snacks on time. Don t stress on 3 big meals a day. Smaller meals more frequently will help you reach the goal and keep your metabolism high throughout the day -hypoglycemia is more dangerous than hyperglycemia. -eat nutritious foods and have a balanced diet. Monitor calorie intake. Avoid food that raise your sugar quickly like refined sugar refined grains. Stick to where grains and unadulterated food. Junk food, fast food, sodas have more bad than good and is best avoided. -the rest of it is based on how you balance it. You take a high calorie food, adjust your calories with other items involved in your diet. - drink plenty of water (unless contraindicated in renal or heart disease) -exercise, exercise, exercise. Even 10 minutes is better than nothing. Do that three times a day and voila you are exercising 4 hrs a week approximately. Just pay attention to your body, eat on time and exercise regularly. Regular follow up with your doctor is vital to monitor, prevent or treat associated diseases and complications. Hope I ve been helpful. Please let us know if you have any questions.
