Suggestion needed

[sayee89]

Hello all, Hope my writing finds you well. I am writing asking a suggestion for my current situation. I am 31 and recently I noticed unusual empty stomach feelings even after eating. Most of the time if I do not take food after empty feeling of my stomach then I found increased heart rate, shakiness, sweating and like this (hypoglycemic). I cut my medicine dose 1/2 as per the dr. suggestion. I am not on allopathic medicine. I am taking unani medicine from the very beginning. My sugar level is almost normal and I found increased not more than 3-4 times since 2018 but it was around 10. But I take medicine as I think and dr. sugget me and this group member also suggest me as prediabetic. Would you please tell me about my condition.

I am taking 40mg zinc per day, 40000 vit-D per week and some herbal supplement as well including cinnamon mainly, around 500mg Vitamin C. Another thing is I am taking Dutasteroid 0.5mg per day for my hair fall since last 2 months.

Now please tell me what is going!!!

Hi sayee89 ,

How many hours apart do you eat meals and/or snacks? If you wait too long between meals to eat again, you may start having hypo. symptoms. The same if you don't eat enough carbs. at each meal. Have you mentioned the hypo. feelings to your doctor? Did they say that was a side effect to a medication that they put you on recently? For some people, cinnamon can lower a person's blood sugars and if you add medication that also can/suppose to lower the blood sugars, then you may end up having too low blood sugars and need emergency food/drink/glucagon shot to help raise the blood sugars quickly.
