Hi All.
I am type 2 for over 3 years & take 4 metformin a day & have had good HBAC1 results. I don't test (I suffer severe anxiety especially health so doing testing induces it so trying to avoid)
I have been In last 6 weeks I have been trying extra hard to eat better & follow low carb diet & during more water better than I was as I noticed I was napping alot in days. I defo feel better in feel have more energy than I have in while & I'm defo not sleeping in daytime.
However I still have days where I feel tired that I can remedy by closing eyes for 1 minute or so then back to feeling normal like I have had shot of caffiene. I noticed this seems to mainly happen in evening 3-4hrs after eating. My eating change has mainly been in last 2 to 3 weeks as i now do 3 low carb meals a day with some snacking.
The timing of it confuses me as not sure if BG affects you 3 or 4hrs after eating, don't notice any other symptoms eg don't visit loo or feeling dehyrdate. Is it my body just adjusting to new eating habits? Is it cos I'm not snacking enough? (anxiety is affecting my apetite) or do I need to fix my food choices more?
Alternatively could it be my anxiety as I'm struggling with it partly due to this issue?
TIA
