Message: <blockquote data-quote="JoKalsbeek" data-source="post: 2752839" data-attributes="member: 401801">We can't diagnose, no... But we can say that your HbA1c of 33 is beautiful. And yes, when you fast for a while your liver might dump some glucose when you start to feel faint a little, it helps you get your blood sugars back up when you've been a tad low. That's perfectly natural. And stress can make the liver dump glucose as well, so... Keep an eye on your stunning HbA1c, and let the rest go for now far as sugary thoughts are concerned... You have enough to deal with from the sound of it, don't add (pre-)diabetes to it if you don't have to. A lot of what you're dealing with seems to be riddled with "might" and "likely", so you might want to get some proper answers somewhere? Maybe a referral to an endo would help, see what's wrong. Who knows, it might be something relatively easily solved. I mean, I bloat like I'm pregnant with quintuplets, because I have an irritable bowel and a slight sensitivity to gluten, so garlic, onions, grains, cabbages, some dairy etc will get to me. So I tend to avoid those. Bladderpain is a thing for me too, so no carbonated drinks, vinegar or tomato ketchup, and I had to retrain my bladder so it could hold more before setting off alarm signals that I desperately had to wee (at 100 ml's!). Sometimes, if you know what something is, the solution's dead-simple, but you do need answers first. And from where I'm sitting, it sounds like you're guessing a lot, but have little comfirmation, which could add to your anxiety? If you have symptoms, and from the sound of it you have loads, (and the kind that should be visible to a doc to boot,) it's perfectly alright to get proper answers, if you don't have those yet. I might be reading you wrong, but... With answers come solutions, more often than not. And peace of mind.Be gentle with yourself, eh.Hugs,Jo</blockquote>
