I was diagnosed around 3 months ago now and I’ve not had many issues as my diet has been strict etc. I’m on a very very low calorie diet to try and retract my diabetes and to lose a lot of weight as I’m currently obese. After nearly 60 days of zero sugar I started getting low blood sugars and I felt very bad. I had no sugar in the house so I ordered some food as it was the only thing opened as it was around 2am. I’ve been off my medication since I started this low calorie diet because I’m barely eating much and my blood sugars would go to lows everyday if I was taking medication to bring them down. Anyway, I had probably 1/10th of the order and took my medication again to get the blood sugar down and the past 4 days I’ve been throwing up and constantly dizzy. Is this because I had sugar for the first time in two months? Is it because my body isn’t used to the medication no more? Or is it because I’m diabetic and I shouldn’t be eating that stuff. I’m confused. I read a side effect of Metaformin is being Nauseous. It’s still not away as I type this. Nearly 5 days of this. It’s horrible. At Christmas I had some bad stuff and I didn’t feel even 90% as bad at this. Has anyone ever had this dizziness and throwing up? It could also be food poisoning but highly doubtful. Thank you to anyone that read this.
