update to blood sugar problems

[Guest guest]

Well, I went into the dr and got the fasting glucose draw done, and

they haven't called me back which means they think it's normal. But I

know better. I've been really fastidious about my carbs the last three

days, and have been eating small amounts throughout the day--for now

that will have to do until I get things settled down. Most important

seems to be eating something pretty close to getting up. I have felt a

lot better.

So of course, what did I do today? Got up at 9, didn't eat anything

till 11, and had a (gluten free) brownie at 1. Crash! Idiot. I'm still

sleepy and dopey but at least my heart has stopped pounding. I don't

even make brownies and stuff usually; yesterday was my oldest girl's

8th birthday and we made brownies because she's wheat sensitive too.

That'll learn me.

Anyway, I'm seeing the naturopath on Tuesday for thyroid issues and

I'll be bringing this up with him. I'm going to continue to treat

myself as if I'm pre-diabetic at the least. I've started eating tiny

frozen bits of raw pasture-fed beef liver--someone's suggestion here to

treat the piece like a pill and swallow it down still frozen. Seems to

be helping but it's too soon to tell.

You are going to get your blood sugar number from the dr in any case

aren't you?

Good luck with this issue. Sorry I can't be of more help... except to

say... EXERCISE within your capacity.
