Just a warning- I'm not feeling great so this is mostly a vent I try to be upbeat most of the time but yesterday/today just can't be
So have now been diagnosed just over 9 weeks. I have been doing LCHF since the day after the diagnosis
Good news- blood sugar levels in the 5s with the occasional 4 usually once or twice very second day- so levels I would say are under control
Bad news- I don't have any more energy- in fact I would say I had less energy- my cross training seems to be getting harder I can not do it as fast or as long as I used to I don't have the energy to practise my flute everyday which I enjoy
-I'm not losing weight- I am not gaining any which is great but I'm doing the LCHF and IF -I am doing the 16/8 so for the whole morning I am starving. Just so hungry- I can't find anything I can stomach early in the morning so am not eating rather than eating and throwing up
Then when I feel upset- my body punishes me by making my blood sugar levels higher- still in the 5s but higher rather than lower.
I feel really bad today- I can't change what I eat because I can't face the possibilities of the complications than diabetes brings
Anyway just needed to vent to someone other than my wonderful husband,
