Blog about diabetes

Decided to look for a group…. having troubles. Where to start.
I am allergic to sulfur, sulfites, eggs, grains and lots of stuff. CAn’t eat anything much canned or boxed. (( I get gerd, reflux, bloating, feel badly etc. migrains and heart spasms….not eating all goes away))
I have done low carbing and learned that I felt much better…..eating meat and veggies and a bit of fruit and sometimes a potatoe.. lost 35 pounds then kinda stopped… losing but pretty much stayed on basic atkins without counting carbs so of course gained 13 pounds back… then… totally fell off wagon…
well got back on.. and low carbed… and felt terrible. Became shaky, sick to stomach, dizzy woozy kind — not vertigo (I know difference cus I get that too) and had to add in carbs… just could not do it.. so ate too much….. but
I called now to get the glucose tolerance test… hopefully my doctor will order it, as I have already requested to have it done. I will find out next week. My sister has type II diabetes, and my dad did and my grand fathers on both sides of family and my daughter has Type II as well.
Some people say I have low blood sugar, as I got so shaky and weak and sick and sweated and nauseated… went on for couple days and a glass of orange juice made me feel better… in half an hour… other people think I have diabetes…and I am just confused.. I don’t know what hypoglycemia is or how it works…..
I am trying to lose weight to help a knee that is worn out to stave off a knee surgery…..because I am not a good candidate for it….with my allergies and I also have prinzemetal which has caused me one heart attack… probably caused by the sulfites……because it was before I knew I was allergic to them.
Sorry for long long intro……but Thanks. I go by the name of “dash” on internet….my real name is Louise
