Blood Sugars Down Only 1 To 13

I am a bit worried type 2 diabetic been really silly over last few weeks forgetting to take metformin and eating high sugar foods. I got a real fright friday night blood sugar 21.4 stopped eating high sugar no bad things at all since friday night and then yesterday as well as taking metformin it went down to 14. Then no bad things all day yesterday porridge for breakfast brown bread and !/2 banana 4 hours later blood sugar down to 13 a bit dissapointed because I have been really good.

sorry I don't know much about blood sugar but seems like you could do with a bit more help, maybe a doctor or even a nutritionist to help you manged it?

You need specialist advice, I suggest you ring the Diabetes UK helpline and make an appointment with your diabetes nurse first thing tomorrow morning.

Type 2 diabetes can be controlled, but you need proper advice and education from a highly trained diabetes specialist nurse or doctor. They can explain to you about how to eat safely.

That's okay as long as it's continuing to go down :)

Keep being good and sticking at it. If you can't get it down with diet, which you should be able too, then ring your surgery and speak to the diabetic nurse or doctor so as they can check that you're on the right dose of Metformin :)

If I remember rightly Gordie you ate an awful amount of chocolate on Friday didn't you? So it will take some time to get it out of your system. It is as Auntie Moosie said, going down though so that is fine. You really must take more care with what you eat in future though.
