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...
Well last night I was very sick, but I think it's because my numbers are coming down.. I started out about a month ago between 350-400 (this is my blood sugar not weight believe it or not)... Now last night it was right at 200 and for the past 3 or 4 days has stayed in the low 200's (still high, but getting better)... Last night I felt so sick I went to bed at 9! Wow that's early for me.. But I was just so sick.. Woke up around 230am sick sick sick.. Dry heeves.. Yuck! Sat on the couch it seemed to get better dozed off sitting up decided I could go back to bed, slept till 715 am! That's a ton of sleep. Sugar this morning was 212.. Haven't felt 100% today but haven't felt so sick either..
Now the question has become am I feeling sick because my body thinks I'm having extreme lows since it's used to being double what it has been, or do I possibly have an ulcer from all the stress I've been under? I'm coming out from under the stress rock lately so could it be an after affect? I go to the doctor tomorrow and will be talking to them about it.. Hopefully it goes away.. I hate feeling icky for no reason...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
once u get off of the stress train.. ur body will learn to adjust to ur sugars going down and u wont feel so sick..
im assuming.. only cuz that is what happened to me..
my sugars started out from 300's.. and now they run 130 - 150.. and every little day i feel better and better..
I can usually feel a "sick" spell coming on cause I get kind of clammy and feel like my face went flush, but I don't think it actually does.. Then I just start feeling so sick to my stomach.. And as funny as it is, I kind of think the dry heeving is more my mind then my body.. Cause I really feel like if I could just "let it all out" so to say.. Then I'd feel much better.. So I think my mind might be causing the dry heeves.. Hope that made sense..
Anyway.. I purchased some cinnamon pills, garlic pills, and chromium to add to my pill popping routine (not really a pill popper but I heard these are really good to take) to help lower my blood sugar and for heart health too.
Well wish me luck at the Dr tomorrow.. Maybe I can get a switch from Actos to glyburide.. That would really be GREAT.
Wishing everyone out there luck and health too.
Blessings
Come to think of it, after the last few months when I too was extremely high and couldn't get it down -- ladies take note, it was because of changing to the generic of my birth-control pill, and changing back is what finally helped -- I also felt like I was bottoming out, only to find when I tested that it was still high as a kite. But it was srill a drop from the previous highs.
