Hi lovely people,
I’ve posted a few times about slurred speech, dizziness and brain fog.
The other day I was bad then tested when I got home and got a reading of 1.9, thought it was an error and tested again at 2.2. Had a pack of dates as it was the only thing in I could find that had sugar in at 23g. Went up to 9.6 and stayed there for 4 hours. Like what????
I assumed I was type 2 or that it was my hypothyroid. Got treatment for thyroid and now in range (debatable about if this is optimal). Went low carb, lost over 2 stone (15% of my body weight).
A typical day for me is start out around 5.5, eat some Greek yoghurt and berries when I get to work. Start feeling off about 11, have a salad and either fatty fish or avocado or cheese. Continue to feel awful, speech and brain fog starts in afternoon. Have tea with a balanced tea with small amount of carbs (I’m around about 100g of carbs a day now). Feel awful for about an hour then come around.
So all this time has it been low blood sugar or not high? And what does that mean for what’s caused it? And how can I prevent it?
I know nobody can diagnose here and I’ll go back to the doctors who continue to shrug their shoulders. But anyone any experience of similar?
