Hi all
I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes in pregnancy unfortunately it did not go after my bubba was born and now I'm type 2.
I have struggled to get control of my levels I can't seem to eat any amount of carbs at all.
My levels are around 10-11 in the morning and sway netween 9-13 through the day. I am in 100gm met twice and gliclazide once a day.
The other symptoms I have is dizziness and light headiness and also skin tingling . I have had my blood pressie checked and it was normal. I did also have low vit d.
I know I still have to work harder with my diet but these other symptoms worry me my mil has diabetes and her levels are around 8-10 and she doesn't have these symptoms.
I wonder if I'm type 1 I have also had a lot of weight loss about 2 1/2 stone .
Can anyone give advice or experienced similar
Thank you
 
Hello and welcome. I am pretty much the same as you if I eat any carbs at all then my BS levels go sky high so I'm concentrating on eating low carbs so going more down the bacon/lean meat route. That in turn gives me problems as then I'm constipated so I too am struggling with my diet
I also had quite a dramatic weight loss but wasnt considered to be a T1
I feel light headed as well and have the skin tingling - but I'm not sure if that is due to BS levels.............
I'm not sure how they diagnose one Type from the other.
Its all pretty much confusing to me
Anyway you're not alone
