question to anyone who experienced this problem. I took the test for diabetes and my PCP said it came up negative for diabetes baruch hashem. BUT my dad and his dad have diabetes so the genes run in my family and i think i have insulin resistance which basically gives me the “highs” and “lows” of sugar.

While no doctor agrees with me because based on some infrequent blood tests that can’t capture what is really going on inside one’s body, the doctors are reluctant to medically diagnose me

the problem i have had and have is at times i will feel very faint and dizzy such that i could not stand and then when i take sugar such as choc. syrup.. within a few minutes i feel better

i have been on metformin for a few years such that my episodes of “low sugar” increased but other insulin resistance effects such as metabolism increased = weight loss… improved

i try to eat a healthy diet consisting of high protein low carb.. but the problem is that if i eat mostly protein and no/low carb then i get a headache and get weak b.c i have no energy so then i am forced to eat carbs which is not good for my insulin resistance problem so it is a “catch 22”

i wanted to know if anyone experienced/es this and can relate what….
