My doctor said alogliptin doesn't cause hypos but she has referred me to consultant cause she's not sure if I'm late onset type 1.
When we have been running our bloods high for a while, that's what our bodies are used to. Our bodies like to run on routines.
When we start to bring our bloods down by whatever means - diet, exercise, medication or combinations, our body works very hardtop maintain the previously comfortable levels. When it can no longer do that, because you have done well on diet, medication, or whatever, it throws up these feelings to try to make us help it out, by boosting the numbers back up again. This can be referred to as a false hypo. You can have all the hypo symptoms, but the bloods aren't very low.
In those circumstances, it usually eases within a short while, provided we don't feed it back up again, by eating lots of sugar, or whatever. In most circumstances, the thing to do is work through it.
Now, to your weight loss and feelings your limbs are thin.
The thing is, our bodies never quite get with the programme and lose from the places we wish they would! It's a variation on Murphy's law. But, again, over time, these things usually sort themselves out, by a mixture of us, and others getting used to the "new you", and by our bodies redistributing its cover.
Similarly when we gain weight, it's rarely to our bosoms, or wherever we might like it to go, but usually to out tummy, bums or face and neck. Again this often sorts itself out.
Do you have an spare poundage to lose? What sort of region do you now find your BMI in? Don't go into too much detail if it makes you uncomfortable.
