Diabetes

[carbgrl 119]

I seriously ate to much junk this weekend. ( I'm re-starting liquid diet tomorrow to help me get back on track). My question is after I ate a piece of cake it made me so sick. It upset my stomach, it made me "dump", heart was racing, headache, felt like blood pressure high, tongue & lips tingling. I just felt awful. Of course, I'm not used to that much sugar anymore but do you think it could be diabetes? I was never diagnosed with diabetes before but I never had trouble handling sugar like that. Anyone have any answers? Is it because my stomach is smaller and it hits your system faster?

hey girlfriend, what were you thinking????

not being a dr of course, your comment about having trouble digesting/dealing with that sugar in a small stomach - "sounds" like a good thought to me

the bad news - you realize that you shouldn't have so much sugar, the good news is that you realize you shouldn't have so much sugar

knowing the problem is 1/2 the battle - now you can deal with your answer

i doubt very much you now have diabetes

it works the other way around usually - i was diabetic/insulin past 20 years - post WLS and a short bit of time, no more diabetes - reason this happens to many diabetics, is we have changed our eating, eat less, then weigh less

in the past my PCP always said if i would loose "a little weight" that would help my diabetes - never did

we all need to stay away from excess sugar

i think your tummy was yelling at you - i wondered what that noise was

going back to basics, to "make yourself feel better, get back on track" - is never a bad idea

look at your weight loss - you go girl

if they could see you now....... love to sing - good you don't have to listen

take care

Thanks Grammy. Definitely lesson learned. Although, I'm close to goal I have a long way to go to make life long changes. I still struggle with head hunger, eating slowly, sugar addiction, mindful eating. I probably should go to counseling but life is to crazy right now. I trying to work on it on my own. I'm reading a book on mindful eating right now. As you said, acknowledging I have a problem is half the battle.
