Gut bacteria are the good guys, no worries there. And your body is supposed to turn carbs into glucose once ingested. That's how we're built, it's a normal bodily function. It's what happens beyond that, that goes awry for a T2 or a T1, when we can't process it back out again. If you're worried about your levels, go to a doc. We can't diagnose on here, and you'll want to ask for a HbA1c, and since you're losing weight, also ask for a C-peptide and GAD test.Hi, 1st post here. Read to end, it may be useful. Been feeling ill, very fatigued for 5 years now. All fasting BG tests at the GP have been normal range.
Started getting tingling fingers and toes recently and always wake up feeling ok, but always terrible after breakfast.
My BG before breakfast is 5.5-6.0.
Had 4x weetabix with sugar free almond milk warmed in microwave this morning and started feeling terrible almost straight away. Tested BG after 30 minutes and it was 10.1 and then after an hour it had fallen to 8.7.
Chicken toasted sandwiches increase BG from 5.5 to 8.7 within 30 minutes.
So I think Im prediabetic. Was 85kg a few months ago and am uncontrollably losing weight since starting to eat more which is odd.... now 77kg.
I'm wondering why my BG rises so quickly when other peoples does not. And thinking like I tend to think, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars by what??... Is it the acids in our stomach, or the bacteria in our stomachs that can survive the acidic environment?
If it is the acid in the stomach then does taking antacids with carb rich food help slow down the release of sugar and so limit the max BG reading??
If its the bacteria breaking down the carbs into sugar then lemon juice or cinnamon seem from my reading to be good things to take to subdue those types of bacteria from doing their thing....
Only other thing I know about cinnamon is there are 2 kinds. The most commonly available kind is highly poisonous so cannot be taken in even small doses too frequently.... And the other kind, called something mike Ceylon is less poisonous so can be eaten much more frewuently without ill effect..... But it would be interesting to know whether both the types of cinnamon are equally as good at subduing stomach bacteria, or whether its only the more poisonous kind which is effective. Does anyone know?? From memory the poisonous cinnamon can cause liver failure so its good to know which cinnamon you're using
The Weetabix Minis have 1.6g carbs each. I bought them in an effort to wean my OH off of Cornflakes and Rice Crispies but it didn’t work so I thought I’d try them as a snack.I have not eaten Weetabix in quite a while a pity as I always liked them I may in the near future just try one and see if they still pump up the volume blood sugar wise.
