Hi everyone! First off, a little history about myself. I'm 29, female, very active, eat fairly healthy, maintain a good weight. My mother is type 2, just got diagnosed about 3 years ago when she woke up one morning almost completely blind (she never was the type to go to the doc for anything though).
I just had a baby 7 months ago & was borderline GD while I was pregnant.
Lately I have been having some very strange symptoms along with uncontrollable sugar cravings.
My hands shake, my heart feels like it's racing, unexplained bruises that seem to stay there for weeks on end, extreme fatigue... etc etc so I bought a monitor.
anyhow, I was having what felt like an adrenaline rush one day & took my blood sugar & it was 14.1. The next night it was 10.9 2 hours after dinner, the night after it was 7.1.
My last 5 fasting levels in the morning have been 5.7, 6.9, 6.8, 6.8, 5.6.
Anyhow, does this sound like I could be developing Type 2? Can it happen to people who are fit? I only read about people being overweight.
Thanks for the help!!
