Hello,

For past couple of weeks after over an hour post meal I get

  • headaches
    stiffness in neck muscles
    Confusion and inability to concentrate
    Sometimes slurred speech
    Anxiety, slight increase in the heart beat
I did check my blood sugar level and it seems OK to me (pre meal 4.8, 2 hours post meal it was 6.4 and 3 hours it dropped to 5.2

But today on my way home I felt a bit weak so I checked my sugar level and it was 4.2 I had my meal immediately and after 1 hr it was 6.2 then 2 hr it was 5.8 but after a while I wasn't feeling good so I checked again so 3 hr post meal it jumped to 6.4.

I am a bit confused. I appreciate if you could help explain the above situation from diabetes point of view. I am under a lot of stress lately due to a few personal issues. And the above experience is stressing me out further.

I have cut down on tea and avoid added sugar and drink plenty of water instead and am eating healthy. Although I overweight male 30 yes, 5'10" and weigh 84 kg.
 
These are not Diabetic readings.
Go see your doctor, it may be something else.
 
My friend Paul went through something similar, convinced it was diabetes tests showed he actually had something called Bilareubens syndrome, (perhaps not spelt correctly).

Best to see the doctor.
 
Are you a diagnosed diabetic? I have to say those readings sound absolutely plum normal to me (if you are diabetic, you have fabulous control). I think it would be quite unlikely that the symptoms you are experiencing are anything to do with diabetes. I hope you find an answer or feel better soon x
 
Hi. As others have said those reading are quite normal for a non-diabetic so see the doc to find out what other problem you may have?
