[QUOTE="Confucius, post: 1359423, member: 370633"] Thank you for sharing your experience. It helps. After monitoring my sugar levels for the last three and half days frequently (fasting, before and 2 hours after each meal), I decide to stop for a few days and limit my test to 1 or 2 times a day after that. Anxiety kills!! I have changed my eating habits and cut back on carbs a little bit and increased healthy fats (salmon, olive oil - didn't eat them before!). For a period of time before I felt symptoms (frequently pees after lunch and especially during night, fast and irregular heartbeats, numb and pricking hands and feets - they come very very gradually one after another), I had been eating lots of soybeans every day as my main source of protein. I did cardio and strength exercises every day, and I thought animal proteins might not be that healthy. In retrospect, I think that might be one of the causes that led to my problems. I checked online sources and some research said soybean might suppress thyroid function and in turn affect normal functioning of insulin. Now I have stopped eating soybean, white rice, whole fat milk, Quaker instant oatmeal, and started eating barley, Job's tears, and adzuki bean each 1/3 mixed as my major carb intake. I think all of them are low on the glycaemic index and Job's tears may have glucose-lowering effects. I also eat raw garlic twice a day and ginger, which may also help lower blood glucose levels. By far, my tingling feet and and hands are much much better. They used to interfere with my sleep; they don't now. My heart felt much better too. Now I continue with exercises but cut the time to 50%. Before I thought I needed to see the doctor, I ordered a Yoga meditation kit (Easy Meditation for Everyone by Wai Lana) as I wanted better sleep. The delivery took 15 days (from US) and arrived yesterday. I tried it last night and this morning before getting up. I think it'll help me ease anxiety as well. [/QUOTE]
