Hey Everyone, ok some background: Type 1 diabetic, paleo for 3 yrs, pretty strict, sleep is good, stress is low.
Ok so I've been having a hard time getting my glucose levels down. I've had this problem for the last few months but it seems to have gotten worse since last Sunday. I started a new job about a month ago, so with the new job has come a change in lifestyle (for the better I feel.) I've had to readjust my Levemir dosages as well as my Novolog. My problem is that I seem to get dizzy as I attempt to get my glucose down. From there my dizzyness usually leads to a headache. Symptoms start at times very early. In other words at time I get dizzy when my glucose levels are in the 120 to 140 range. I get a strong feeling that I'm going to pass out or die. I also experience a general weakness of extremeties at this point. Other symptoms include painful stomach aches just before meal times and discomfort after eating. It was worse last Monday and Tuesday. I could barely function at work those days and was absolutely miserable. The G I symptoms seem to be getting better but my dizzyness and light headedness continues. I also feel very low energy. The strange thing is that most the symptoms go away if I raise my BG to 170. I don't think this any kind of paleo flu because I've been eating the same as always. I plan to see an Endo or Doc and get some testing done soon as I feel that I'm on the verge of dropping dead if this continues. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should start digging?
