I have been
pre-diabetic for a few years. My doctor
has never made much of it except to tell
me if I didn't lose weight and change my
eating habits I could end up a type 2.
He's no longer my doctor!
About 2 months ago, I began to clean up my
act. My fasting blood sugar ranged from
104-116. I began walking 2-5 miles per
day and began eating fiber, fruits, no
sugar, drinking water and watching myself.
I lost nearly 30 pounds and my fasting
blood sugar dropped to the mid eighties to
low nineties and my random tests were in
the high 90s.
I just went on vacation for a week. I
walked incessantly while on my trip, but I
did partake in pizza twice and had a few
bites of cheesecake. I wasn't terrible
but I wasn't like I have been either. I
got a cold. Stupidly, I never thought to
check the medication but I was taking
Nyquil and Ricolla and Halls cough
suppressants. My blood sugars have not
been the same since. It has only been a
week, but my sugars are now back in the
low 100s again when fasting and my after
dinner sugars go up as high as 150s 2
hours after I eat.
Can anyone tell me what is going on? If I
continue to walk and get my diet in check
will I get back to my 80s and 90s or have
I done something to my immune system or my
pancreas that may be irreversible?
