Hey everyone just wanted to see if I could get any feedback. I had my first child 11 months ago and had a very healthy pregnancy, and an easy birth, but I feel like ever since I have given birth I have been struggling with my afternoons. its like I get super brainfog, lightheaded, I almost feel like I need to close my eyes. If I have a little juice I usually feel better. It was just happening in the afternoons but now it is happening in the mornings too. Has anyone dealt with this before or have any advice. Thanks

    See a doctor. However,I can almost assuredly say you do not have diabetes. High blood sugar is a sign for newly diagnosed diabetics. Hypoglycemia could be your culprit.

    I think you have developed a condition called "parenthood". Don't worry, the symptoms get better after about 20 years or so.

    Are you checking your blood sugar?? Do not make guesses about your health.
    See the the doctor.
