Most of that was suddenly and bizarrely gained out of nowhere over a few short months right before it disappeared again and took some extra with it. For me--someone who has been the same (thin) size since age 13--this was all quite startling. I'm now thinner than I have been in years (since I was sick with something else about 10 yrs ago). I have had to be stricter and stricter on carbs to keep BS good, yes, and fasting never got better, just a little worse, until the metformin which I think has helped fasting #s. Also things like the thirst, blurry vision, waking to urinate, fatigue, come back when my sugars are higher (but to be clear, they're never super high, like over 11). I've also had a mysterious foot numbness the past couple months out of the blue. I'm sure I'm still making insulin now or I'd be much sicker, but things just aren't adding up and the usual prediabetes control measures aren't fixing things. I'd like to be more proactive somehow, but I'm not sure how and my doctor is not that much help.</p></blockquote><p></p>
