You’re so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!

Assuming it’s the same feeling, it’s such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it’s like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅

YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won’t take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that’s enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don’t even feel that deprived when you’re having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I’ve lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don’t even really exercise!

This probably sounds stupid, but I just kinda… started feeling diabetic? 😅 Like, how I was feeling matched my extremely vague idea of “what diabetes might feel like”, so I asked for blood tests, and yep.

I don’t think peeing a lot was really part of mine. I just found eating usually made me feel worse instead of better, and I was starting to get occasional tingling in my hands and feet.
