Hi all, I have symptoms of both RH and PreDiabetes.. Are they joined at the hip? Or completely different?
I crash if I eat carbs for breakfast, even porridge.. And I will get the shakes, sweating, palpitations, dizziness and the only way to correct that is to obviously grab whatever you can find in your zombie state and wait for it to kick in.. When in this state I always know what my blood sugar is going to be.. In the 60s (3.3) ish.. To avoid this issue I just skip breakfast most days and my blood sugar remains stable and I feel better..
Dinner tonight I thought I'd take a more detailed look at what my blood sugar is doing and it is like this..
22:00 96 mg/dl (5.3) - Before Dinner..
22:00 - 22:10 Dinner (Rice with meatballs and chopped toms and lentils and onions)
22:30 135 mg/dl (7.5)
23:10 139 mg/dl (7.7)
00:10 144 mg/dl (8.0) Two hours after eating
00:30 Got fed up with the high readings so I lifted some weights for 15 minutes..
01:10 115 mg/dl (6.4)
Does anybody recognise this pattern? I was a stable weight up until my mid 30s always 10 stone, I was naturally muscular .. For the last 2 years I had bowel and digestive issues which I overcame by giving up gluten.. Before giving up gluten it was like my body was consuming itself, I was losing muscle in places you wouldn't usually and got down to 7.7 stone (49kg). I have been struggling to gain the weight I lost back and I eat easily double what I did when I was 10st and I now lift weights daily for the past 8 months yet I can't seem to get back up to it. Currently 8.9 stone (57kg).
I would love to hear from anybody with some advice on what I should do.. The last time I brought this up with the doctor they took my reading and as it was a morning app I hadn't eaten yet and it was 85 mg/dl (4.7) so that was a waste of time.
