I hope I'm doing this right but, 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetes 2. Some foods make me hideously sick, others, even if they do have carbs, don't bother me as much. This past year, I have lost a lot of weight, to the point the dr's are running tests and figuring I must have a host of other problems. Which I do have a few but here's what I would like to know...on my blood work last month, it showed that the diabetes is near normal, not all that high of number. I found that odd considering the day before, when I just got up, my fasting # was 180.
And carbs, especially anything like a crepe, will make me so nauseated, I can't even function. My new NP, whom I don't like anyway, said that she doesn't know why I'm having problems with carbs, considering the results of my blood work, and not to take "any of that crap" when I mentioned taking Amaryl occasionally.
So, can a person have out of control diabetes 2 and yet not show on the blood work like this? I am so perplexed! The other issues I have are not related to food, what I eat or when, so they aren't part of this problem.
Oh, and I have a specialist for lung issues and just got a new gastro specialist for a non cancerous lesion on my liver. They require out of town trips, as would a specialist for diabetes...so I do not have a doctor for diabetes at this time. I rely on the internet and now, maybe some feedback from this forum I just found.
Thanks for any input!
