..my blood glucose numbers rise a bit, just more into the pre-diabetic area, I get the shakes, feel hungry before I should, and start sweating off and on.
I've looked around the web for reasons why and the one that hit the closest to how I feel is a Dairy intolerance. I read this just before I came finding my symptoms was Hypoglycemia which I don't think would be me since my glucose numbers haven't gone below 91, and up to 103, 106 etc. Now they have been as high as 127.
I'm kind of leaning towards "too much dairy" as I eat cheese, 1 oz a day, and sometimes grab a cheese stick (always eat Mozarella). Then my fave lunch that never bothered my numbers before (may be doing it) a yogurt with only 2 g of sugar/carbs, called 2 Good Yogurt. Other wise I eat 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup blackberries, rasberries, or strawberries, same 1/4 cup. Dinners are just a meat, brocolli, cottage cheese, avocado, or spinach. No snacks except an occasional loaf of Almond Bread with creamcheese, but that is just a dessert right after dinner. No snacks after 6pm.
I started using Baking soda, 1 tsp in water before bed to stop the leg cramps and foot. Some sharp tiny points of pain, come and go, in big toe (s). I haven't been having any of that since.
I just don't get it unless it's the dairy products. I want to ask for feedback on any of this, but specifically, I heard Kefir is a good replacement for dairy but have not tried it. Any advice on that too I would appreciate, like how to fix it as I still like to be able to have some things taste good if they are bland. Kefir sounds bland but that's not fair since I haven't ever tried it. I have tried Almond "cheese" an that may be an option.
Thanks for any help as I can't figure this out but I have other issues than T2. I have migraines that have been flaring up, a tremor which the hypoglycemia "feeling" make so bad I couldn't fill out a form the other day I was shaking so bad. I have a job offer and am scared I'll fail that. My endurance isn't great either and nap a lot of days in the afternoons. I'm 68, but when I have a good day, I feel 10 years or more, younger, lots of energy. Can't figure it out. Geez, sorry about the book ;( Denise
I do take these Vitamins: C, D3, Magnesium, B1, Niacin and Zinc. Also added a bottle of Endure trace minerals to put in water, 12 drops a day is total.
