The morning dp used to really bother me too. After reading, I think it was The Diabetes Code, I decided to agree with Jason Fung and think of it as a good thing from the excess glucose being released from being stored where it shouldn’t be. My dp stopped once most of my excess weight was off...

Yep, similar effect different triggers I think - I definitely get low with extended fasting! Hyperinsulinemia is a good shout, maybe I’ve dealt with the insulin resistance mostly but not the excess insulin somehow. I typed in hyperinsulinemia and hypothyroid to google and there were some studies...

Thank you @Lamont D. Yeah I agree, RH crossed my mind but doesn’t quite fit. In terms of tests. A couple of times I’ve gone to a and e when it was really bad and I couldn’t walk/ talk. It looked so similar but not quite like a stroke they brought me straight to the front of the queue both times...

Thanks @EllieM back to the hunger game phone call to doctors to get an appointment Monday morning! They have ran so many tests ruling things out I’m going to try insisting on referral to an endo now if they are out of ideas.

Hi lovely people, I’ve posted a few times about slurred speech, dizziness and brain fog. The other day I was bad then tested when I got home and got a reading of 1.9, thought it was an error and tested again at 2.2. Had a pack of dates as it was the only thing in I could find that had sugar in...

So no change BUT since my clothes were hanging off me (which they weren’t at Christmas) tried on next size down and they fit. I’m now a size 12 on top and 14 on bottom, started at a tight 18 last July. So even if scales aren’t moving much something is happening with my body!

Bodies are indeed weird. I’m up and down around the same 2 pounds all the time then every now and again it dips into the next pound down!

Hi Robin, it sounds like your levothyroxine is not yet optimally medicated. I’m hypothyroid too and if you’ve just recently started levo it takes moths to it right but it can be done. My understanding is if your thyroid hormones are too low you won’t be able to metabolise glucose enough and...

No change this week, 12.7 with a target of 11.10. But keeping perspective I’ve lost 15% of body weight and out of nowhere the loss has started again…

Well another pound lost somehow!

Wonders never cease I’ve actually lost a pound after months of nothing! No idea what’s caused it though. Did some gardening last weekend maybe. But it made me exhausted for three days - probably levothyroxine not enough to cope with additional exercise. The other thing I did was when I got...

Well I found a way to lose a pound - vomiting for 2 days and having labrynthitis! The world is still swimming a little bit but I can now walk.

Thanks Ickihun. I’m totally stalled and lost now like. I’ve tried reducing calories and/ or reducing carbs, or increasing activity, to disasterous results! I get a weird stutter/ slur, lose balance and tip over. I think it’s linked to my hypothyroid (I take levothyroxine). I was losing a pound...

Hi SlimLizzy, just wanted to say I’ve been reading your posts and hoping you’ll find something to help!
