I was disgnosed 2 years ago and thru a battle managed to get my BG and cholesterol levels down and been on Mteformin 500 X 2 and Simvastatin 40 mg. Recently, my mother died and since then my BG has been all oevr the place. Did all sorts of tests and all came normal. I am living through hell with constant lighthheadedness and dizziness and worse each time I eat and when I go 'low' ...
I eat the same thing everyday and each day the readings are different. Never had random glucose hitting 9.8 after 2 hrs of eating porridge. But it is happening. The doctors have prescribed me Citalopram to fight the anxiety and panic attacks but I am resisting it as I am scared to face the symptoms of worsening the side effects.
I have stopped working and scared to be on my own, I have no one to be with me and call my husband to assist me when I have a panic attack or feeling very lightheaded like fainting.
Life is hell and I don't seem to understand what to eat and not to eat. I keep to a non/low carb diet and porridge is the only carb I have . I have tried half toast of whole wheat and felt worst. I am scared of food as they send me into distress and I am constantly frustrated and hungry.
Pl help !
