Hello, I'm still new to diabetes. I've been on a full dose metformin for two weeks only. Thought I'd share my story and see what your guy's opinions are.
My brother is a huge Blues fan, so for game 6 we went to one of the many watch parties they had. It ended up being way more hot and way more crowded than I expected. I tried to keep chugging water but I don't think I caught up to how much I was sweating.
The next day I felt beyond sluggish, and my balance was completely out of wack. I ate well that day and just figured I was feeling hungover from dehydration (I didn't drink, and haven't since diagnosed, just remember the feeling lol). The third day I couldn't eat. I had maybe an eighth of an apple for breakfast, I called my doctor and he had me run blood work tests. I ended up staying the night at the hospital on an insulin and a potassium drip all night.
I feel like I just need to take it easy and relearn my boundaries as far as what I can and can't do. It's all just so new to me still.
