Well I am nearly 4 weeks into being diagnosed with diabetes and I am beginning to have an issue.
I have increased my Metformin to 2 in the morning and still 1 at night, felt alright Saturday, Sunday morning got up had a small fried brekkie, low carb, went out for a walk with the dog, but on the way home in the car I began to feel a bit weird, a bit like I get when I have a migraine, eyes struggling to focus, bit shaky and achy, but knew it was not a migraine, got home and crashed out on the sofa for 3 hours, didn't feel much better until the late evening. Today much the same without the sleep (I was at work), before lunch I tested my BG and it was 9.8, which for me is the highest I have been for a week but not by much, (my lowest over the last few days was 5.0 and highest 9.3). But the thing that felt the worst was the slow shaky feel, not fast like a shiver from cold, more slower and more of a stutter type feel, has anybody come across these symptoms before? what causes it, and if I can how can I stop it? I know its probably my body getting used to my new diet and the lack of my sugar intake and my body readjusting to the 'new' me! but not felt like this before, so I do not know what to expect and how to relief the fee,ling of being 'washed out' if I can put it that way. I am eating healthy and fairly low carb' with only one lapse a week (Saturday was an Indian takeaway), Eating 3 meals a day and at regular times most of the time.
Thanks for any advise.
Gary.
