What a horrible experience. I remember when they thought I was T2 medical professionals were noticeably worse to me than before (gestational diabetes) or after (MODY, finally diagnosed as mitochondrial diabetes). The message to T2s seems to be that your diabetes is your own fault, if your BG is high it's because you're cheating on your recommended low-fat, calorie exchange diet, and there's no point putting much effort into your treatment because you're now on a one-way path to neuropathy, heart failure and death.Funny enough I have just had a similar experience but with a much more negative outcome.
................... Unfortunately I felt ill one hour after getting up - dizzy and sick and my bs was 8.7. I ate a cheese omelet and felt better within half an hour although still too ill to go to work. Bs 8.2 after 2 hours 10 mins. Needless to say I am going to write a letter of complaint!
Don't know - adapting to the metformin? Felt betterish half an hour after eating but took an hour and a half and now feel dizzy again? Not enough fluids? Hoping someone doing LCHF and metformin might know?What do you reckon made you ill?
8.7 you wouldn't feel, especially if you are fine at 8.2.
Hope you feel better soon.
Been feeling fairly ****** for some time - feeling dizzy and so forth but put this down to blood pressure - doc has been giving me different quantities of ramapril to try and bring it down. Spoke to our normal chemist today and he attributed the dizziness to my body getting used to the meds and me kicking my carb habit!Really?
If you felt ok at 13.1 on Monday, and were only diagnosed by an accident of circumstance, you seriously reckon you'd feel bad at 8.7 the following week Tuesday?
Hej!Scandichic, great that you have made your point, gotten a glucometer and have already managed to get lower bgs in such an amazingly short time.
It is, however, not an unusual occurrence (as I have learned in another global forum) that many will feel dizziness and will feel extremely unwell when they at first lower their bg numbers – and especially when they lower them as quickly and dramatically as you have managed to do.
This is attributed to the fact that your body and your whole system have been so used to higher bgs for probably quite some time … - and now it is screaming to get back to the previous status quo.
I have often seen advice given to take it a bit slow but steady in the beginning, i.e. to start more gradually in order for your body to adapt.
But anyway, the good thing is that this will pass when your body has accepted the new regime you impose (smiley). Keep it up and
Best, annelise (Denmark)
