i am running good A1c numbers 5.4 doctor says i can go off my meds but i dont want to mainly because when i get stressed my numbers go way hi and sometimes after eating it does. but tuesday i received a flu shot and tetnas shot and didnt take my meds. i ate lunch at 1:30 and then at 6:30 for no reason my sugar dropped to 82 i was so pale, shaking very bad and felt so weak and thought i was going to pass out. scared the crap out of my daughter. so i made her get me a half a can of pepsi and it took my sugar to 129 and i felt better but took a half hour to feel better i didnt take my meds. but then the next day i did and my sugar went high granted my boss was yelling at me for speed of service. all week long i felt up and down. on saturday i ate a lunch that i knew would mess up my sugar but i wanted the food but it only took my sugar to 128 not that bad two hours after eating what i did but when i got to work my boss started on me and 20 mins after taking my sugar at 128 i felt like passing out and felt very hot and sick, i took my sugar it was 144. the stress my boss put me at took it high very fast. i dont know but i think getting the flu shot and the tetanus shot at the same time it affected my sugar tuesday and all week but the stress took it further. i dont know how to keep my sugars where i want them when i feel stressed. on monday i even had a panic attack cause of a fight with hubby(we made up tho) and the fight caused my sugar to go to 192 and then saturday night my boss called me and started yelling at me for service times too. got my heart pounding and chest hurting and i knew my sugar was going high again so when i got home i drank half a beer to relieve the stress and i felt my sugar lowering. i dont normally drink but this week has been so stressful. i asked the dr how to keep sugar down under stress but she just said try not to be stressed. i cant help it when my boss is being mean. i cant take my sugar going that high whenever he decides to yell at me. i want to control my sugars during stress.
also my hair at the ends seem to be coming out(im not going bald) but i see more of the hair coming out. could it be the metformin. or am i just getting old.
