It only took 2 weeks to figure it out...and I just got to the main doctor yesterday for blood work. Still have GI scans to rule out any other disease....but my glucose was 180 about 45-50 minutes after a meal. Test results should back it up when they come soon in the next day or two.
It's been rough, because I did not know what was going on. I had lost appetite and barely could eat anything without feeling full after a few bites. I have lost like 8 pounds (originally at 215 pounds at 5' 7") just from lack of wanting to eat. I have felt malnourished. I eventually felt hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic earlier this last past week with things only being consistent the past few days. Apparently sleep isn't for me, too. I learnt that I have a digestive comorbidity, gastroparesis (I was experiencing rapid dumping prior). I don't know when my sugar levels are truly rising or lowing. In the past day, I've witnessed brain fog (I think) and vision flashes/degrading vision.
Have yet to get prescribed medicine or a diet plan.
I feel like my life is literally irreversible and over because of this and I wish I had known earlier. My anxiety isn't helping matters much either...
I don't know if going to the hospital would be appropriate or not if things don't get better in the next few days...
