As I was reading your post, I instantly thought "I wonder what his Blood Glucose Level is? I know that if my sugars have gone to low I feel as you do. Mine has not gone as low as yours, but it seem's a little on the low side. Maybe if you try to eat something your blood sugar will rise and you will feel better. I am sure somebody on here will give you some good adviceHi all I did a 22 hour fast yesterday and ate my Marcos in one meal, since then I have felt very nauseous and cannot face anything to eat today. I am also feeling a little lightheaded and weird. My bloods are 3.9 I take metformin and daxagliptin. Any advice please
What did you eat in your one meal? I'm guessing that as you aren't really used to eating this way it may have overloaded your stomach a bit? Also with the medication you are on I'd be talking to HCP's about reducing the dose while fasting..Hi all I did a 22 hour fast yesterday and ate my Marcos in one meal, since then I have felt very nauseous and cannot face anything to eat today.

What were you eating? Maybe less veg and more protein?Thanks for reply if I do Omad how do I meat Marcos without feeling ill.

3.9 will make you feel lightheaded and weird, it’s a hypo.
Might be worth having a shorter fast or splitting it into 2? Personally I find that when I go too long without eating I go beyond hunger and into a really nauseous and lightheaded (and either stroppy or stupid...) state where I can’t face eating.
Hi. I believe the Gliptins have the following effect. They are DPP-4 inhibitors. They inhibit an enzyme that in turn switches off insulin production typically after a meal. By inhibiting this enzyme, the pancreas produces insulin for longer. I understand that they don't normally cause hypos and neither does Metformin normally but with extreme fasting I guess they can? I think the poster needs to now have enough food to raise BS and perhaps control medication use while fasting or consider not fasting.I agree with what @bulkbiker said.
Your Gliptin medication can cause hypos,. It helps the pancreas to produce extra insulin to cope with the glucose in your blood stream caused by eating carbs. The less carbs you eat, the less insulin you need. That, plus stuffing yourself in one meal, is most likely the cause. If you are following a low carb diet and trying long fasts your Gliptin meds may need reducing so it may be a case of a word with your nurse.
