    I am not diabetic, but my husband has Type 1. It sounds like something is wrong with your meter. A 17 and 5 would mean that you would be in a coma. Anything below 30 you wouldn't know what was happening , because you would be unconsious.
    Meds I take:
    Elmiron, Elavil, Vagifem- for IC
    Albuterol, Flovent, Atrovent- for Asthma and lung problems
    Paxil, Clonazepam- for depression and Anxiety
    Atenolol- for rapid heart rate
    Nexium- for Gerd
    Levothyroxin- for Hypothyroidism
    Lasix, Pottasium- for edema
    Lipitor- for High Cholesterol
    I coated aspirin
    02 at bedtime

      I just noticed that you are from Canada. Maybe the meters are different???

      A diabetic needs to be on a special diet. You need to talk with the doctor that diagnosed you.

          Great! I am glad you signed up for classes and have an appt. with a endocronoligist

          If you have anymore questions please ask. My husband has had diabetes for 24 years, so I know a little bit about it.

          Take care.
