Last Saturday, at 2 am, I got up to go the bathroom and fainted. Kevin said I was incoherent for about 10 minutes. We didn't go to the ER because I felt good after eating turkey and potatoes. Then the doctor called saying my glucose lab came back high (103, it should be below 100). So I made an appointment to get my A1C checked. My A1C was 4.9 which is normal. The doctor didn't listen to me, told me I was pre-diabetic and left. She told me I should see a nutritionist. When I told her I don't eat refined sugar or processed foods she told me I need a little bit of that in my life. Hahaha. She's so full of shit.
The whole appointment pissed me off because I had no time to explain that I'm a runner and my blood sugar and blood pressure usually run low. My friend sent me an article stating how runners have a lower resting heart rate and when they stand from laying the blood pools in their legs and can't make it to their heart fast enough so they pass out. This describes to me better what happened than saying I'm pre-diabetic.
So I was pissed and anxious about this experience for 2 days. Many on Facebook said I'm healthy and should get a second opinion. I think I'll buy a meter and chart my blood sugars for awhile to learn what it reads when I feel shaky or nauseous. I had a realization that maybe I don't have food allergies, maybe I get nauseous from some foods because my blood sugar is off. Maybe the nausea is caused by my blood sugars being wonky and not the food! I have never thought about it this way before. Maybe some day I'll see an endocrinologist.
Because of this experience I binged on low carb fudge leftover from Christmas. It was delicious but my doctor was wrong. I do not need this in my life. Makes me nauseous.
Other than this experience I've been 100% W30 compliant and been experiencing Tiger Blood! I feel happy, positive, and motivated about life! But my anxiety has been more pronounced than usual. I think I just hate being told I'm sick when I exercise/eat right and feel so healthy!
I know what's best for me and I'm going to keep doing ME! 😀
