Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
Hi everyone:
I have two questions that I wonder if others have had experience with:
1. Hypoglycemia: Specifically, does anyone else feel exhausted after they've had an episode of hypoglycemia. For myself I find that when this happens that it really knocks the stuffing out of me, and that I feel exhausted from the experience. It usually takes me at least a day to start feeling 'normal' again.
2. Macular Edema: Does anyone have/know anyone who has, or had, this condition, and if so what their experiences have been? I've just been diagnosed and I am unable to get in to see a retinal specialist until October. I've done some on line research, which to be honest, has freaked me out a little bit.
Thank you for any insight and sharing your experiences.

Yes it can be very tiring. But if you get into hypo eat some card or fruit juice....
But yeah make sure its a hypo cuz symptoms of hyper and hypo can be similar sometimes.
