Okay so lately I have been having this burning pain in my arms and leg and it wont go away and it wakes me up during a dead sleep and I do not sleep cause the pain, thirsty as hell, hungry like no other (I lost in the past 6 months around 40+ lbs and then I gained 12lbs), I have to pee every 5 minutes (OK I'm exaggerating, more like 15 - 20), overly tired, moody (I am on a mood stabilizer so wtf mate) after I eat i have tons of energy and better mood, cheerful and happy... but maybe a hour so later I am cranky, hungry, drowsy and my eyes can barely stay open... I am having bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) and I have to drink special super low carb and high in protien drinks and from those I get all tired after a hour, I can almost see the root of my teeth, bladder infections almost every few months (I bath every day and I am a very clean person), sever head aches Vicodine, Valum, Motrin, Excedrine do not help at all, I get a little disoriented (I take adderall for adhd so again WTF), blood pressure was 150 / 103 just a couple hours ago when I went to see my doctor. My doctor is making me fast from 6p.m. to 8a.m. he told me to tell my husband is I fall asleep and it is hard to wake me (just like it is when my 3 year old has a low) to call 911...
So with all this info... what do ya'll think? I hate waiting for tests and doctor appointments and most of all not know what type of diabetes he thinks I have! I would ask my daughter what her symptoms are or were but she is 3 years old and um yeah all she knows about her diabetes is how to load her meter, clean her finger, poke her finger, put the blood on it, she know what the insulin vile look like, what a syringe is, what her shuggie kit is and what her demo pump was for "for my diabetes". My step mother who has been a type 1 diabetic since she was a teenager won't talk to me or ever pretend to be civil. Other than that... I have this site and I am reaching out for help.

fibromyalsia and my fasting was 95, doc said its hypoglecemia.
test when your feeling crappy too. Also if having infections that too can raise blood sugars. so test then.
Hypoglycemia can be tricky - thats when you really need to avoid the sugars, to keep things stabilized and eat regularly. I had a client that had hypo so would drink reg pepsi all the time and eat snickers bars. All that is going to do is spike the bgs and cause them to rebound lower. hope you get to feeling better

well I am doing tiny bit better, I'm still in pain, still get lows and new symptom veins close to the skin and horrid bruising! it hurts!! I got called a hypochondriac... WTF!? I hate doctors, so if I am sick I go and I mean I really have to feel like I am on my death bed. I have two tattoos now and that says hello I can take the pain, I didn't gripe about the freaking sun burn I got and the doctor called me stupid over... well duh it was stupid spur of the moment talk for 4 hours in the sun with a new wls friend. I mean how dumb can a doctor get and still breath? I have pain meds so it's not like i want more... re-phrase I DO NOT NEED MORE MEDICATIONS!!!! So their job is to test find out and cure. My fasting sugars over night have been 100 lately, were a sugar free family. My day time between meals no snacks is 97 and my doctor said if you want to see a Endocrine doc than fine ill refure you, yes please and yet no refural. I WANT A NEW DOCTOR MARINE CORPS!!!
