Sugar crash / spikes

I've recently been diagnosed with type II diabetes and still adjusting my medication and when I had a sugar crash yesterday at lunch I over did my sugar in take and had a sugar spike. It exhausted me, gave me first sweats then chills, nausea all afternoon. I've tried all night eating small portions and hope this morning I would feel better. But now that I'm up I'm still shaking and my blood sugar is 135. How long will I get like this and should I go back to my old dosage.

Low carb, moderate protein, high healthy fats diet is now the first line treatment for people with diabetes.

Adopting this diet will help greatly in reducing your blood sugar swings and reducing your medication requirements.

If sugar consumption is causing you to spike, I suggest reducing sugar/carb intake.  From my experience, exercise can reduce BG spikes.
