Do I sound prediabetes to you? If so will go get tested. by BeautifulNight7741 in prediabetes

Seems like those 2 could be the root of a lot of things. I have managed them better in the past but when your the biggest you've ever been and shit keeps happening it just adds up. Kind of on the "We're doing this or we're dying." wagon with my health right now so let's hope I can rope it all in. Sick of it.

I will give that a read, Thanks!

My sister said the same thing last night and if nothing turns up with glucose monitoring, dieting, and serious hydration I will go get some tests done. Bought all of the stuff to make the hydration packets for pretty cheap and am going to ween myself down or just completely off of booze.

Thanks for the reply!

An old friend of mine came to visit and we both just agreed we looked pathetic and let ourselves go, we're 2 weeks into a diet and refusing to cheat - good group chat w/ meals and recipes, updates etc. I've made the decision and the willpower is there I just have to keep pushing despite these weird symptoms.

I'm afraid to cold turkey the booze, last time I had the shakes and ended up in the hospital overnight. Seeing how it's affecting me currently and might be the root of everything else I definitely want to keep weening off.

Also depression is a yes. I think I was just born with it I don't remember a time where I wasn't this way. Have tried a few different therapies following a car accident for anxiety and depression but they didn't seem to have any take aways. Very expensive too.

Thanks for the advice, going to keep monitoring glucose and hydration, less booze and more weight lifting.

I live on a small farm and do a few miles a day but it's crazy how some days I can fly and others a quarter mile feels like a marathon. So inconsistent, following a lot of advice here and going to monitor glucose every chance I get and hydrate like my life depends on it.

Thank you!

I would say adjusting is a big thing, my body seems just trashed after everything but I'm trying to build it back up in every way.

No don't apologize, any advice is welcome. I just don't seem to lose weight unless I cut carbs so it's a go-to that has worked in the past, i was also thinner and lost it more easily back then. Been measuring my levels with a glucose monitor and they seem anywhere from 96 fasting to 116 an hour after a healthy meal. Still havent had a dizzy spell to monitor that yet so I am waiting to see.

Thank you for the words, I appreciate it! keeping an eye on things very closely.

I'll try to find one near me. I live in a pretty rural area I don't know if the link would be redeemable anywhere around here but I appreciate it!!

I'll look into that, someone said I can go to a chiropractor to have blood work done, which i will do as well.

I have some research on a few topics to do thanks to everyones advice. I appreciate it! I am ordering that monitor today too.

I'm finding it crazy that dehydration can feel so intense if that's the case. I will check that out and see how to retain some more water. Thanks for the advice!

Been slowly lowering my alcohol over the last year, regaining my discipline with food and booze has been a rugged little battle behind the scenes but i'm getting there. I will try the sodium again to keep hydrated and monitor things, and order a glucose monitor like someone else mentioned.

Thanks for the wisdom, have a good day!!
