Have you talked with your doctor about the dizziness? Have you been tested for any food allergies?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have not been to the doctors yet. I have booked an appointment for next week tho i find it strange that im feeling like this now tho.

Sometimes, food/drinks we’ve eaten for many years can start making us not feel good. I personally had to stop eating anything made with wheat or wheat products because I started having massive cramps 4 years ago. I have a gluten intolerance and have been eating a gluten free diet ever since along with a low carb high protein diet to control my weight and blood sugars. I’m type 1.

Please let us know what you find out from your appointment with your doctor.😀👍

How did you get diagnosed? What symptoms did you have? I need to go for blood test but i hate them didnt go the last time. I will let you know what happens. Certain foods like fatty foods and junk food is a no no for me it upsets my stomach.

I had surgery when I was 2 weeks old as an infant because my pancreas was putting out too much insulin and most of it had to be removed. Sometimes, what is left wakes up and then my blood sugars start dropping for no reason. I’m on 2 types of insulin pens and I use a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitoring System). The CGM has helped me in the middle of the night and has woken me up when my blood sugars were under 80mg/dl.

What happens if the insulin is to high or to low? Sorry for all the questions.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

No sorry necessary! You can always ask anything you want to know.😀👍

If you’re using an insulin dose and it’s too high, you may have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If the dose is too low, you can have hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).

When i use to smoke i use to have hypos, where i use to start shaking if i didnt eat much. Had to have something with sugar to stop me from shaking but that hasnt happened since.

Has a doctor said that you have to eat snacks during the day?

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

Nope i havent really paid much attention until now.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

When was your last appointment?

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

2011 was the last time when i had blood tests done

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Ask your doctor about the A1c test to be done. This is what you can find out for the last 3-4 months for your blood sugars (90 days).

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Done with my snack. Will do the note now for you. Do you eat meat?

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]
