Hello all,
So first a little background.
I'm 35 and not diagnosed with diabetes, however, ever since I was in my teens I've sufferd with terrible fatigue, sugar crashes, unexplained migraines and blurred vision that I think is linked with what I eat.
After several normal fasting blood tests Ive been diagnosed withn anaemia and low blood pressure and this is what my fatigue has been put down to by health professionals.
Over the years I've tried cutting out all sort of foods to find the link and it wasn't until I tried a low card diet that I because convinced that something funky was going on.
To finally get to the point I have been monitoring my blood glucose levels with the Freestyle sensors and have found that I've been suffering hyper and hypos when I eat without knowing it, but it's not on a daily basis. I do seem to go above 8.5 mml/L after ever mean though.
I've attached an example of a bad day and a usual day while using the Freestyle sensor.
I'm going to book an appointment with the doctor this week, but I wanted to ask people if anyone has any clue as to what's going on or had a similar experience?
More info:
I eat as clean as possible (minimal bad carbs)
I don't smoke or drink,
I'm 5.9ft and 9.5 stone,
Long term diagnosis of PCOS,
I exercise a minute of 4 times a week... Running, Martial arts, gymnastics,
Family does have type 1 and 2 history,
