[QUOTE="CrumblingWall, post: 2045220, member: 494805"] Thanks. Filled. I am afraid doctors will dismiss me as always because they are aware I am being treated of anxiety disorder. It is way better now. I don't panic seeing bigger numbers anymore. I know it will go down on its own. I am just bothered by me being aware of the rising BG. It makes me stop doing regular important activities, exhibit things people around me are concerned about like: sweating sitting doing nothing, walking a bit unevenly due to slight dizziness, etc. If I did not feel those symptoms, I would not even KNOW my BG goes to that level. And there would not be this post on the forum. But since it consistently makes me feel unwell, and it consistently shows BG of X >= mmol/l at the time, I cannot help but associate those ill feelings with my BG. I usually go weeks without measuring anything. I only measure when feeling like today, and it is always at the level higher than normal, which for me is between 5-6 mmol/l. I am also aware that glucose spikes are not good for you. The body, of course, can repair the damage if BG is majority of the time normal, which it is for me, but if I can find out why it rises to that level and makes me feel unwell, and/or damage my body in the process, why should I not make an attempt to prevent it? I am already doing SOMETHING: I practice yoga to relax, I go for 30 min walks every day. I don't eat any fast carbs, just carbs from veggies which according to cronometer.com never goes above 110g carbs a day in total. I don't drink or smoke, and am not overweight. I even started practicing time-restricted eating - 08:00-17:00 is my window after which I stop eating. I just see that my BG is never in 4s anymore, which was the case 3 years ago AND I was eating tons of carbs like 300g of rice a day, ice cream, etc. My fasting were lower, my post-prandials never caused me problems and now I am in 5s, with spikes to 8s sometimes. I realise those levels do not cause damage to my body but I have an interest in living a healthy life, and the trend is what bothers me. I simply am trying to add something to combat this. [/QUOTE]
