I have been on metformin for one week but been low cal diet for 3 weeks. My numbers today was 5.3 fasting which went up to 6.3 two hours after breakfast. Two hours After lunch was 7.2 by these numbers I feel I am doing very well Problem is I feel rubbish. I feel very strange and my head feels so fuzzy. I am short breath and have a dull headache. Is it the drop in numbers. Any thoughts be appreciated
 
I too feel rubbish but them's the breaks. As people have told me there is not diabetic reason why you have headaches and feel rubbish, it's likely to be more psychological that you are going without your fave foods and drink, not indulging as much and stressing about being diabetic. The lovely people on this forum have been just amazing.
 
Hi thanks for the reply. I can honestly say I haven't stressed over this as **** happens in life and you have to deal with. I don't really miss much of the things I can't eat as I have eaten other things such as nuts and odd bits of fruit. I have never really overindulged in much so this hadn't been too difficult. I have upped the exercise although I have always walked a lot. Hopefully We will both begin to feel better soon.
