Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="marjfra" data-source="post: 296665" data-attributes="member: 46531">Hi Moya!Many thanks for the message.  I found the rajeun site a bit imprecise but found a fantastic and accurate calculator on the home page on this site that's why I could give a precise recalculation above.  It would appear from another part of this site that the readings would suggest diabetes but of course I'm really not sure hence my panicked messages!!!  What is really bothering me is that I can't seem to control the rise and fall of the blood glucose.  This wave pattern is characteristic of Insulin Resistance but even with strictly controlling my diet and metformin and exercise, it has just started going crazy.  Over this past month I have lost a further 4 lbs without trying, and am now just over 9st in weight.  My eye sight has worsened in the past few months.  I am constantly tired, my head won't work, I have no concentration, am prone to terrible short term forgetfulness and if I try to exert myself even around the home, its as if a plug has been pulled, all power leaves me and my blood sugar levels drop like a stone.There is though a pattern within the absence of pattern in that my blood sugar will rise at the drop of a hat in the morning while I can withstand challenges (in the form of food!) later in the day particularly the evening.  To give an example - this morning I ate 2 tbls yogurt, 1 dsp chopped nuts and half a grated apple mixed together with a half slice wholemeal toast and a cup of coffee.  Before breakfast my level was 5.7 but afterwards it rose (half an hour later) to 11.4.  Curiously, I had chicken stirfry (my own!) last night for dinner.  My level before was 6.1 but after my much larger meal it rose only to 7.8!I appreciate that none of the members of this forum are doctors but in reading the posts on this forum I have been amazed and relieved by the level of knowledge and expertise amongst you all.  My endocrinoligist is really very good but I don't know what it is about doctors, they just don't seem to give enough information and they only have so much time.  I just don't want to be dismissed as a nutcase!  This is why I want to tap into the knowledge base here to get everyone views.  Really appreciate this.Cheers,marjfra</blockquote>
