Thank you all for your feedback I will try not to beat myself up and panic so much lol...
A family history of diabetes can result with a diabetes gene being passed to the next generation by one or both parents, in rare cases from the grandparents skipping a generation. The problem area lays with the actual genetic testing as it's still not fully comprehended or in place.
In your case, Ruthie, if you wish further analysis I suggest you get your thyroid and pancreas checked. A malfunctioning thyroid will disrupt pancreas insulin production.
54 y.o. male w/ history of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. I beat an enlarged heart and type 2 diabetes at age 48 thru diet and exercise. In the last 6 months, old habits returned. Eating poorly and inactive. Started working out again about new year and eating better. Last night left side went numb suddenly, lasted about 20 minutes. Went away completely. Came back in the middle of the night. Gets stronger and weaker. If diabetes, not likely to be entire side of body.
Other possibility is a rapid gastric emptying, when the food comes fast into duodenum, is absorbed fast, glucose in blood rises and then falls rapidly, what leads to anxiety, rapid heart beat, sweating (effects of adrenalin).
It may be a symptom of diabetes (or pre-diabetes).
I don't know, but glucose in blood in fasting and after the meal should be checked (endocrinologist). Other investigation done by gastroenterologist is test for the speed of gastric emptying.
As stated it is not unexpected to have an increase in the heart rate, etc. after eating there is a demand for more blood/oxygen to digest food. So your system is working a little harder as it should.
I'm not sure about any connection with eyesight, but high blood pressure can effect the small vessels in the eye (retina). Zestril is an ace inhibitor that helps relax the vessels and reduce the associated pressure. You may want to see a doctor for a medical checkup...
Following a healthy, balanced diet is key to managing diabetes. This includes eating plenty of vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while limiting sugary and processed foods.
Regular exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve overall health. It is recommended to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
It's to see of you have gestational diabetes. It's important because if you have it and goes untreated there are a lot of things that could happen to your baby even stillbirth.
i remember wanting to stop eating so much!! you eat every 2 or so hours and you get so tired of eating! you can also still have treats. i made it so that i would get 2 pieces of chocolate for a snack (especially cause i was tired of eating and 2 pieces of chocolate was like a break) another benefit was my heart burn issue nearly went away completely!
No, I just assumed you would be overweight as most are, I am, but I was able to control diabetes with diet, there is a book called eat to beat diabetes, and it helped me alot, got me right on track, exercise was also a big key, 2o min a day does not sound like much, but you will see, just stay religious about it. I also had some other medical issues that came up later but I will not go into that long story. before all the other stuff came along I was able to get my a1c from 9.5 down to 5.
s something to think about and talk to your doctor about. It gets old, but it does beat the alternative. Keep looking for answers and make your doctors explain "why" this is happening when you are doing everything right. A diabetic diet is a very healthy diet which will benefit you in many other ways. You aren't just helping your blood sugar. I eat like a diabetic to stay healthy.
Hello,
you may also want to test before eating to see if your blood sugars go down eventually.
Are you overweight? if so, losing weight may help, as will daily exercise.
Try reducing carbs (you eat less carbs, but more protein and unprocessed fats). You can experimeint to see if this is enough to get your sugarss down. learn to 'eat to your meter'. ie. find what foods don't make you high and then make these a main part of your diet.
Would this be a better place to begin so that I can self-monitor not only to adjust my eating schedule but also to have some information to supply my doctor at the first of the year. Just not sure where to begin or what to do. The world is a lonely place without your parents to provide support and information!
Thanks for your advice.
As per I knew there is no relation between bulimia for diabetes.
Here I am giving some information about bulimia.
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors, referred to as "purging". The most common form—practiced more than 75% of people with bulimia nervosa—is self-induced vomiting; fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics, and overexercising are also common.
Since there are many causes of neuropathy, hence treatment involves seeking these conditions out and correcting any underlying problem such as poor sugar control in diabetes in order to get a relief in your symptoms. Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure of neuropathy but symptomatic relief can be provided. Hope this helps.
what type of food should you eat when your doctor tell you you are pre diabetes. and put you on metformin?
"I was in fact, just diagnosed with this."
Hopefully you are under the care of an Endocrinologist.
"The diet helps only a little."
Google search Reactive Hypoglycemia for lots of treatment suggestions/ideas.
