Female, 36, 5'4, 132 lbs, very active farm life, 2500-3000 calories daily, carb heavy.
Came to PM eating from a pretty low/learned calorie intake, was about 98lbs when I began PM eating.
Never restricted carbs, fat, meat, just didn't eat enough consistent meals except dinner.
I'd say I'm only, from visual appearance of my body, 5-8 lbs overweight, but after a lifetime of basically being a walking bag of bones I figure it will take my body time to feel safe enough to let go of that.
I have however plateaued & do not continue to gain weight.
Sups:
325mg Aspirin
Thorne Vit k
Vit E
Cypro 1-3 x a week as needed.
Bee pollen
Pine pollen (I have low T)
Ideal labs androgens 1-2 drops cycled with my cycle.
Occasionally MB
The last week or so I had been having kinda out of the blue overwhelming waves of emotion & just feeling suddenly off so I went & bought a glucose meter.
The first time I tested I was in the 20 range, dangerous as hell.
I thought it might have been from taking double aspirin that morning coupled with a somewhat smaller than normal breakfast.
I stopped taking aspirin.
Thinking I was hypoglycemic from it + maybe not enough protein alongside the fruit I had for breakfast the next day I had more starch/protein.
Before I even got hungry in the afternoon my blood sugar dangerously plummeted again.
So I started tracking morning levels/after meals/whenever I feel off for the last week.
This morning my fasting blood sugar is 120, yesterday it was 140... This indicates pre-diabetic or outright diabetes.
I will add that I go hypo rapidly & often no matter how much I'm eating then it skyrockets back up & my ears start ringing.
My diet typically looks like:
Fruits
Meats
Cheese
OJ
Potatoes
More cheese
Ample raw goats milk
Maple syrup
Honey
Rice
Eggs
Animal fats for cooking
Sourdough bread when I make it
Pasta when I make it
I'm pretty mindful about pairing these all in the PM fashion carbs/protein.
This feels pretty devastating to be honest.
I had JUST got my body back from severe burnout, finally had good cortisol levels, was really staring to feel good with genuine energy returning.
Then BAM this hits me, and it really did just hit me. I'd never had these symptoms before.
Ideas? Experience?
What's your environment like? Do you live in a highly populated area? What's your cell phone, wifi and blue light exposure like? How much sun do you get? You live in Oregon so you have a pretty limited time of good sun exposure each year. Blue light and EMF alone can cause diabetes. Im all for eating carbs at the right time of the year, but if you are eating that diet year round and haven't mitigated EMF in your life the diabetes, cortisol and random blood sugar issues doesn't surprise me.
