 Posted: 07/02/06 - 01:37 Post subject: Anxitey Symptoms and Diabetic Symptoms |
  |
|
| About three weeks ago, I had eaten pop corn shrimp, and coleslaw. About 2 hours later, my uncle was checking his sugar, and just for the heck of it I told him to check mine to (since diabetes runs on my dads side of the family, i like to keep a check on it). It read 193. I waited about 2 hours later and it was 157. I fasted then the next morning I took it and it was 116. my question is this. The only symptom that I was having was I was urinating constantly, prior to me checking my blood sugar. Now that I seen that my reading was high, it freaked me out. I am known to have anxiety attacks. It has now been three weeks and I have been watching what food I have eaten and i have started walking 30-40 minutes 3-4 times a week. My question is this, is it possible for me to have worried so much about becoming a diabetic due to that high reading that I have made myself have the symptoms? If so how do I over come this? |

Yes, blood sugar levels may go up due too much food intake and due to stress.
You need to find a way to relax and not think about the diabetes history in your family. I know that just knowing you are at risk might be putting too much pressure on you but you do know that diabetes type 2 can be prevented or postponed by balanced diet and exercise and keeping your weight normal. It is very good that you took up walking, it may help you relax and walking is also as good as exercise.
You should be worried about your risk but not to the point where you would drive yourself mad. By knowing you are at risk, you have the advantage to take things under control and start looking after yourself in ways I already explained (diet, exercise, weight, no stress). You should also have regular follow-ups to check all the necessary measurements and this is the best thing you can do. Worrying could and will only aggravate the condition if you have it.
Who knows, maybe you take after your mother’s side. |
