Guys, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m exhausted all the time. Every waking moment that isn’t work, I’m sleeping, with little hour breaks in between. I feel fine otherwise. #Diabetes #Covid #AmIDying
@real_jamescain Is this your usual state? Could be holiday stress.
@FreyaSu I thought that too, but I was this way before the holidays.
@real_jamescain I get like this if I eat more than 30g carbs a day, it’s like I can’t keep my eyes open, even if my BSLs are even. One time I was playing DnD and I had to lie down. Games night is fraught with carbs!
@FreyaSu Huh. Do you finger stick and get a reading when you feel this way?
@real_jamescain I no longer do finger sticks, I have a Dexcom that shows me a graph, trends and current state: highly recommended!
@FreyaSu Thank you! I’ll look into one of those. Your little bit of kindness might be all I needed; I really appreciate you.
@real_jamescain You’re not alone 🥰 There’s millions of us our there…
@FreyaSu What an incredibly nice thing to say. Thank you, it helps knowing I’m not the only one.
@real_jamescain Try eating no carbs for a couple of days and see how you feel.
@real_jamescain Hope you find what the problem is. Took me many years to get diagnosed with Lupus…suffered for many years…had to quit jobs due to illness...
@Bwheatnyc How did you finally figure it out?
@real_jamescain Several doctors told me that I prob had an auto immune disease. Several doctors also told me that I just wanted attention or didn’t want to work. I was managing director of an international publishing co when I got sick and loved my job.
@Bwheatnyc Oh man! I’m sorry that happened to you. It must be somewhat of a relief to know what it is.
@real_jamescain Oh yes. Was on steroids & or immunosuppressives for many years. After about 10 yrs went into remission. 🤞
@Bwheatnyc Wow. Well, I wish you the very best health.
@real_jamescain There's a bazillion things it could be, so you should get it checked out. Could be diet, like others have said, or potentially much worse. Keep a food/health diary so you can go in with more data
@greegreehoist Good advice, I suck at stuff like that but it’s in my best interests.
@real_jamescain I think they make tracker apps that could make it easier. Like one person said, took years for accurate diagnosis. I wouldn't wait.
I'm sorry, I just read a memoir where she found out she had brain cancer after feeling really tired then collapsing on the sofa, so my brain's thinking the worst! Dont mean to project
@greegreehoist Not at all, it means a lot to have so many supportive people looking out for me. 🥲
