Ive been T2 now for like 7 years. Always well controlled. Now although still within the 'acceptable range 5.7 its creeping up. Years ago I had chronic sore throats for years not days or months. Then my T2 was discovered and meds given. Then sore throats mercifully went. I've seen the Dr this last 2 weeks twice as Ive had a low grade fever daily (now for 3 weeks. Blood work done for infection and urine showed no sign of infection. So he says 'virus' so here we go again...../sigh
More monthes of no one able to give me an answer! I think its because my T2 is going out of control. On vacation I got very sick. It was far too hot and I lost my appetite. Since coming back I determined to low carb myself back to health as much as possible. I have no appetite and am eating just because iI must take my Metformin. I have the best diet at home and this last 3 weeks having lost all the weight I put on on the first part of the vacation, I now have achieved the lowest weight since loosing 15 kilo's on diagnosis. In fact I am now lower and still trying to drop more weight. I'm 69 kilos, so I still have a way to go. But....my BG has not altered one bit! I'm not even eating fruit..or very little. The low grade fever still goes on as does the sore throat...and morning BG is still 7.8 which is too high. High morning sugar has always been an issue for me. I need some advice on 2 counts...
I guess the 'higher morning BG is because I dont sleep well. Or 'Dawn Phenomenon' ? But how to change this? For years I have had insomnia. Sometimes I take pills but I hate this and feel its asking for trouble in the future...
So...all this talk of fasting has made me wonder if that could be something for me to try to lower my BG. I am utterly sick of people trying to shove meds after meds at me. My body is severely chemically sensitive..IBS..stomach acid...as well as other issues. Drs see the answer to everything is in a pill. I dont want that! So maybe fasting a couple of days a week could be good. But on the 'broth or shake days...does one take Metformin or not? If not then surely the BG would creep up anyways because Metformin has a cumulative effect?.
What you would 'gain on the swings' surely you would 'loose on the roundabout' in terms of fasting versus missed meds...?
I know this isnt the clearest post...sorry everyone..I'm so tired of trying so hard and getting no place...no Dr's can or will say more than the simplest grunts and the east information. They push out what the drug companies push on them. Sometimes I wonder if its the drug companies that are n fact treating us with the Dr as the simpleton middle man!
