I&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve always been scrawny and I&#8217;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&#8217;ve put myself on a high carb diet that consists of 4 large meals a day. I&#8217;ll admit I love sugar and so it probably contains a lot of sugar too lol.<\/p>\n<p>Since starting the diet I&#8217;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&#8217;ve also been urinating large volumes and its usually clear. I don&#8217;t even have to drink anything at all but sometimes I will go toilet 4 times in half an hour and it&#8217;s not just small amounts of pee each time.. It&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>So those are the new things I&#8217;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&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Also, since I was 17 I&#8217;ve occasionally fainted but I always thought it was due to not eating. But I&#8217;ve fainted twice since I was 21 and I had just eaten before it happened so I dunno why I faint now. I&#8217;ve had my blood glucose levels tested once before like a year ago and it was 7 which is normal apparently so yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry about the long post. If anyone can give me advice it would be much appreciated. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, Just wondering if I should be concerned about some symptoms I&#8217;m having or if I should just chill out.
