Hello. I would appreciate some advice. I was diagnosed as prediabetic with blood sugar reading of 6.2 about a month ago and gave up sugar and have switched to low carb very healthy diet. I am 60 years, slim and reasonably fit but had been feeling totally exhausted all the time but no other symptoms. Doctor advised me to change my diet and exercise and go back in 2 months. He also found high blood pressure. I have checked my glucose level a couple of days ago and it is 5.4 first thing after fasting overnight but I in fact feel really ill now with more symptoms including feeling nauseous, yeast infection and aching back as well as exhausted. I can't understand why I am feeling worse and not a bit better. Has anyone had a similar experience and does it just take a while to begin to feel better? I think I had been prediabetic for a year or more without realising. Thanks
