| Sometimes testing more often helps, but it is the knowledge of where the level is heading that you need with it. You could be testing and find it is low, but it is heading up or it could be heading even lower (sorry but my levels are metric so low for me is 2.2mmol whereas for you guys, I have no idea what your measurement is!). If it's heading lower, it takes at least 15 minutes for the sugar to hit the blood stream and the body changes to begin. The longer you have diabetes, the more likely you are to have digestive problems which means food takes longer to digest and this can cause problems also. |
