I was curious if any one else has seen a link with panic attacks and spikes in BG? I hear that BG can mess with your body chemistry, and I noticed today that after some fruit my BG spiked and I started to feel a little anxiety.
anyone have any info?
fast forward to October 1st, i took my blood glucose reading again and was tired of never seeing the number go up or down. so that was the last time i touched the thing.
Then this past Saturday i decided to try it again. only because i recently i was really really thristy, and thought maybe the number moved up? saturday night the reading was slightly over 500. that was due to a day of eatting anything and everything, soda, cookies, pasta. But int he morning after a long sleep my number dropped to 350.
today i went to the doctors since i called him and told him the reading from Saturday and he wanted to see me right away. now he has me on metformin, and says i have type 2.
I’m quite upset with my self. i can’t believe i did this. i asked the doctor why this happened, and he said my pancreas must have just stopped wanting to make as much insulin as it was for all those years.
so in response I’ve started to eat simple meals, mostly protein, and veggies with very little sugar if any and low carbs. I’ve also started working out again (3rd day in a row now!)
I just took my reading and its 420, not a low as i was hoping.
i have questions, such as what should i do next? am i eatting correctly? how quickly will this metformin start working? what are the chances that i’ll beat this with weight loss and exerise?
please any an all info is welcome. so far i’ve just been told I’m diabetic and given drugs, and the name of an endocrinologist to see in a few weeks to see how I’m doing. i’m hoping to have some forward progress quickly. what do i do?
Thanks again for any and all info in advance.
