question about diebeties and dizzy

[Kylady1975]

So im 7 mths out and my nut said drop calories down to 600 and 15 carbs. Well its working weight is coming off but I feel horrible. Im dizzy and weak. Dark circles under my eyes. Im no longer on meds for my sugar. Also my nerves are staying a wreck. Anyone else had this?

Are you testing your blood sugars? what are they running? Esp test them when you feel like that so you can rule that in/out.

[leah]

It sounds insane for anyone to eat only 600 calories. Of course you feel dizzy and like shit. You are not taking enough calories in for your body to function.

[dachsie]

Thats all the calories I am getting in.

How is your blood pressure??

[jgilliam1955]

Keep us informed what you found out. Something is not right. 600 cals seems to low. I was told twice that amount.

[Kylady1975]

I will start checking my sugars. When I went off my meds I sorda stopped
good point about blood pressure. Never thought about that. At 800 calories I was stalling. I did eat a bite of peanut butter and felt so much better. I will keep you updated.

i have to say, and no disrespect to your nutritionist, but 600 is WAY too few cals. no one should ever be eating less than 800 consistently. i think you should go talk to your DOCTOR (primary care doctor even) and ask them for a referral to a new nutritionist...or maybe a trainer that's also a nutritionist. someone who can give you a bigger picture idea of things to help. someone with a degree in nutrition!

are you getting in your protein? do you have any other health issues? thyroid problems? I was getting dizzy and was on bp med and diabetes meds. I had to come off of a few rx and I feel better now. but the dark circles could mean not enough energy, so make sure your getting in yr protein. check with your dr. and have them do some bloodwork, when My dr did mine he said that my thyroid medications needed to be lowered more that half. I felt nervous and irritable all the time. but now I feel better. I hope that this helps. but please be sure to ck with your dr. are you taking any vitamins? I was very low on Vit B's which can make you very tire too.

I am not diabetic, so can't speak to that, however, I felt HORRIBLE eating super low carb. I would just about die eating only 15 carbs a day.

[Kylady1975]

I have a appointment to get my bloodworm but its the end of august. I am off all meds now for sugar and bp. Bp is running low actually I also stay cold. So im thinking iron. Yankegal I feel edgy all the time. I wished I could get relief from that. I have fibromyalgia also so I hurt alot. If I eat over 600 cals I stall. I get in at least 70some g of protein. Wonder if I could eat more protein like chicken with no carbs and increase calories but not carbs. Wonder if that would make me better.
