Spain, endo flare up and type 2 diabetes.

[Joonaspryte]

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is having a flare free day.

So I am in Spain for a month and this is my 8th day.

unfortunately I also just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, with glucose levels hitting the 20’s

so I thought it was a perfect time to eat low carb and cut out sugar, and my glucose levels have gone right down, which is great but…. I suddenly im having the mother of all flare ups, it’s the worst that I can actually remember, my stomach is huge , swollen and sore. I look 9 months pregnant.

I’m not even sure what has triggered it, ive been eating all fresh stuff, turkey steaks, aubergine, mushrooms, eggs, very few onions, . Also oranges, pears, gazpacho . Almonds.

(So it’s been great for the diabetes glucose levels which went into single figures, but awful for flare ups 😥)

That is all I was eating for first few days, and on day three something triggered it, and I’m still like it now.

im so fed up and sore.

Can anyone offer advice?

Hallo! I’m also type 2 diabetes with endometriosis.

I can’t say I’ve had any flare ups since adopting the low-carb way of eating, but then again we’re all different. It could be that you’ve had a reaction to something you’ve eaten and the only way to find out is to monitor it all.

Sorry I can’t offer anything more useful. But well done with your progress so far.
