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...
That awful metallic taste has gone away now that I have completed the antibiotics. I wonder if that has anything to do with my always being hungry now that I can taste food. I had such a difficult time swallowing that it took away my desire to eat, but now I want to eat every 2 hours or so and a few nuts and a half piece of fruit for a snack doesn't cut it. I woke up in the middle of last night and my stomach was begging to be fed so I ate a half of a sandwich. It must not have been too bad, because my pre-breakfast bg was only 71.
I have had days that I am hungry all day and nothing stops it. I am lucky being it usually doesn't last too long. Drink extra water and try to snack healthy. I am glad the funky taste is gone, I have been on medications that do that. It is no fun being everything taste bad. I get post nasal drip mouth all the time which makes everything I eat taste bad.
