Just wondering if I should be concerned about some symptoms I’m having or if I should just chill out. I’m a bit paranoid coz my grandpa and grandma have diabetes and my grandpa lost both his legs and died at only 60 years old coz of diabetes.
Anyway, I’ve always been scrawny and I’ve never eaten much. I usually snack throughout the day, or just have dinner only, or nothing at all. Recently I suddenly lost too much weight so for the past 2 weeks I’ve put myself on a high carb diet that consists of 4 large meals a day. I’ll admit I love sugar and so it probably contains a lot of sugar too lol.
Since starting the diet I’ve had heaps more energy which is great but I also feel quite dizzy and sick after meals and I have to have a nap. I’ve also been urinating large volumes and its usually clear. I don’t even have to drink anything at all but sometimes I will go toilet 4 times in half an hour and it’s not just small amounts of pee each time.. It’s big proper amounts. And I dunno if this has anything to do with diabetes but I smell like sugar all the time, even after showers.
So those are the new things I’m experiencing since eating properly for the first time ever in my life. Could it be diabetes? Or is my body just not used to all this eating? Lol…
Also, since I was 17 I’ve occasionally fainted but I always thought it was due to not eating. But I’ve fainted twice since I was 21 and I had just eaten before it happened so I dunno why I faint now. I’ve had my blood glucose levels tested once before like a year ago and it was 7 which is normal apparently so yeah.
Sorry about the long post. If anyone can give me advice it would be much appreciated. 🙂
