Does This Sound Like Diabetes?

Whenever I large amounts of fruit I become extremely depressed. I can only manage to get 6 hours of sleep for the next few days as well. If I manage to get my 8 hours i wake up with a headache. I read somewhere that the liver will wake you up early for those who have diabetes.

Is that your only symptom? I would take a look at the available lists of symptoms of diabetes, and see if you have any of the other ones...

Yes, be sure to check a list of symptoms if you are concerned about diabetes. The only thing I have seen relating to the liver and mornings is that the liver deactivates more circulating insulin in the early morning hours than at any other times of the day. This can cause a rise in blood sugar in individuals with diabetes, even before the first meal is eaten. In general, diabetes can affect mood, energy level and sleep. If you do a search here you will find accounts of those with diabetes that you can check for symptoms that may be explained in a way that is more relatable to than a checklist but the checklists should be looked over as well to make sure you are getting accurate info.

I have diabetes. My liver never wakes me and I have never heard such a thing. What you probably heard was about a liver dump. The body expects food in the morning and if it doesn't get the food, it dumps glucose, making blood sugar go higher.

Unusual weight loss

Increased fatigue

Irritability

I ate huge amounts of apples and oranges for about 3 days. I became extremely depressed. I went to bed breathing heavily and only managed to get 6 hours of sleep. I know it was excessive fruit that caused this. I'm 100% sure. With that much certainty, is it safe to say i have diabetes?

Not without appropriate testing.

And I wouldn't with only those symptoms. Not if you don't get symptoms of blood sugar highs when you're not OD'ing on apples. ;)

It could be an issue with apples. It could be an issue with yeast. It could be a sugar intolerance. It could be a lot of different things. If you suspect diabetes, PLEASE go get tested. It is NOT something to 'suspect' or mess about with in any way.

Fruits have a lot of salicylates. After you rule out blood sugar issues, you could look into the fail safe diet if moderate quantaties also cause symptoms. Blood sugar is the priority here, though.

I was thinking about this subject today... Since I have no lining in my intestines, perhaps the pineapple juices, orange juices, and apple cider vinegar are eating away at exposed flesh? I'm not sure if its a blood sugar thing. If i ate a lot of cake I just feel satisfied. Please help. I'm not 100% sure if i really have celiac, but this could be the smoking gun I need- Acid eating away at my intestinal flesh brought on by villi atrophy.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      By cristiana · Posted

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.

      Hello, @Itsabit, Your journey sounds very similar to mine.   I'm very concerned about your diet since you say you don't eat a lot of meat, which is the main source of B vitamins.  Nutritional deficiencies go along with Celiac Disease.  Blood tests are not accurate measurements of deficiency states.  The body robs stored vitamins from organs to circulate in the bloodstream to supply the brain and heart.  You can have deficiency symptoms before blood levels change. I have a hypersensitivity to sulfites, so much so that I had to switch my toothpaste to one that doesn't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.  SLS can cause oral irritation as a side effect, too.   My mouth would burn and I avoided certain foods.  Dapsone contains sulfites, as do antibiotics.  Treatment with sulfites can precipitate a Thiamine deficiency disorder because sulfites cut thiamine in two making it useless. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35506963/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10506142/ I have an allergy to nickel, also.  Zinc helps keep other metals in balance in the body.  Zinc is also terribly important to skin health and oral health. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11274920/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ Thiamine (Vitamin B 1) deficiency disorder symptoms and altered thiamine metabolism can occur after radiation or chemo.   Thiamine and Niacin B 3 are important in nerve conduction.  When I was very malnourished, I had paresthesia that made me feel itchy all over, and made my dermatitis herpetiformis extremely unbearable.  The form of Niacin that causes flushing, Nicotinic Acid (not the same as nicotine in cigarettes) is beneficial because the flushing helps open the small capillaries in the skin which allows the antibodies to be cleared and disposed.  Pellagra can occur in Celiac Disease.   I had it, and my doctor didn't properly diagnose it, either.   I had a rash around my neck, Casal's Necklace, along with a blistering rash on my arms and any skin exposed to the sun.   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8445075/ https://cgp.iiarjournals.org/content/10/4/169 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11722086/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6780714/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10229844/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1977254/ You should be checked for more than just B12 deficiency.  The eight B vitamins work together, and we need more of them when we're trying to heal.  They are water soluble, so the body can easily excrete them if not needed. Have you had your Vitamin D level checked?  Vitamin D regulates the immune system and lowers inflammation.   I hope you can find some benefit from my experiences.  Keep us posted on your progress.   P.S.  When trying not to itch the dermatitis herpetiformis, if you press gently on a large area (press with your whole hand) above the itchy spot, the itchiness goes away.  The bigger area of stimulation drowns out that one jangling dermatitis herpetiformis itchy nerve in the brain. For skin care products, I use tallow balm which is absorbed better into the skin than petroleum products or plant products.  Tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite) helps my Dermatitis Herpetiformis spots look and feel better quickly.  Tallow soap and olive oil soap is beneficial as well.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Jack Common, I know how frustrating health mysteries can be. Perhaps you're having a reaction to the medication you were given for the giardiasis you mentioned in another post. The giardiasis infection would account for the high Igg results.  Have you been reinfected? The site I've linked below has lots of information about the long term consequences of being treated with a medication frequently prescribed for giardiasis infection.   https://hormonesmatter.com/metronidazole-toxicity-doctor-denial/ https://hormonesmatter.com/?s=metronidazole https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3870550/ Please let us know if your symptoms may be due to this reaction to the prescription for giardiasis. Best wishes.
