I’m on day 4 and am definitely feeling more stable. The first couple of days were a bit rough.

Thanks RobbityBob
Describe rough for the first few days, hungry or low BG ? I’m starting to feel a little light headed this afternoon the BG levels are the same . Back to work tomorrow worried about how I will feel .

Hi throne

If you are feeling light-headed try having a little more salt.

You could have feta cheese, or a stock cube in boiling water as a drink, or add some more salt to food.

One of the results of the BSD and all the water we’re drinking is that the sodium is being excreted and we need to make sure we get enough. Particularly important if you’re exercising and getting hot as well.

Try the salt – you should find it helps
