I tried high protein and my levels are in range but my kidneys hurt. I don't try to push my levels up I was just curious how high it can get. Before this mess I was eating bananas and my blood sugar was in two figures all the time.
Why high protein? There are lots of dietary recomendations on this forum.
I was doing some reading and I came across type three diabetes, do you think it might be possible to have it ? I am dizzier by the day the sickness is progressing, is hard to do easy things now. Mu family thinks that I am depressed and I lack the will but I am so low on energy that is hard to stay alive. I am thinking to suicide to escape this hell, I was a strong man and in four months I got a shadow with no energy, very confused and dizzy, and the doctors said that I have nothing seroius, they refuse to believe that I feel so bad.
Hi tibi,
Hope you start feeling better soon, you are not alone, and yes, people around me couldn't see that I felt sick.
Try to calm down, I understand is hard, try breathing deeply.
Low carb (no sugars or starches) doesn't mean HIGH PROTEIN. It normally means lots of green vegetables and enough protein to keep you satisfied plus some fat.
Maybe it would be a good idea to read the forum discussions about low carb and what exactly does it mean. For some people it works.
No one can tell you here if you have diabetes or not, that's for the doctors to say, but if you do, controlling your sugar and starches intake will help you feel better.
I was also blurry eyed, dizzy, feeling nauseous everyday, urinating a lot and very thirsty my blood sugar levels were high, that was a month ago, and I had no energy, it was really bad.
By cutting out all starches and sugar (that means all fruit, cookies, bread, etc) I started to feel better. You've mentioned the doctors told you about metformin, are you taking it? I take metformin, it helps your body to cope better with insulin and use it properly.
Do you take psychiatric medicines? Some of them interfere with the sugar metabolism, if so, then you definitely need to be careful with what you eat.
Yes, it is unfair that bananas and cookies and bread make our sugar go high, its horrible I know, but living in a hell is even worse.
Big hug, and breath.
