Over it--calling doc in morning for help

Ok, gang, I've been sitting here all day--working off and on--and just stewing. I finally decided I'm over it and am calling doc in morning for appointment.

Many knew my frustrations lately with the weight loss--nothing for weeks then drops all of sudden. I lost 1 pound for the first 3 weeks of August, then dropped 4 pounds in a week!

Then this morning, my first time weighing in 3 days, I jump on scale sure I'll see more loss and guess what--

A FREAKING 1 POUND GAIN! :mad:

Yes, yes, yes, I know it's water weight or something because I've been really good and again, there is no way I gained a pound from eating. And I know I should measure and so if that's changed but you know what? THIS IS THE SAME STORY I'VE BEEN HAVING NOW SINCE MID-JUNE!

To top it off, I went back on my one diabetes med 1 week ago, as my levels were creeping back up on me, and I was having terrible cravings. The Metformin is supposed to help with cravings, too, so back on it I went. The doc said to "listen to my body" about when/if to take it, so that's what I've been trying to do.

But the cravings haven't stopped--I'm constantly hungry! I just feel like I could eat, eat, eat. I'm craving sweets, too, which I never do.

Then, today, no exercise at all, right--just taking a break from riding and the gym. I've felt really tired the last 2 days, too, so thought I just needed another break.

Eat my normal breakfast, sitting here on the 'puter working and start to feel like crud, so I go test.

62! My BG dropped to 62 and that's with no exercise! ARGGGGHHH!

So, I go grab a piece of bread with some honey and some PB on it and a 1/2 an apple on top of that.

Start to feel better.

It's now 3 hours later, I'm sitting here again, working away on the 'puter and start to have low feelings again--go test, I'm back at 65 :explode:

Another bit of honey--more this time, with a piece of bread, no PB, and it took an hour to get my numbers above 90. I was on verge of popping a Glucose tablet if it didn't go up soon.

But once again--I'm having to eat when I don't want to just to keep my levels up.

So, I'm over it--calling the doc tomorrow to try to see about an appointment and talk to her. Maybe she can shed some light on all of this whole mess. I don't know if it's pre-men stuff or maybe there's some other diabetes meds I could try or what. Something is causing me to routinely retain fluids obviously, and I'm on HB meds so I really shouldn't be retaining fluids. I drink plenty--I keep my sodium low--and I still retain. It's not TOM either or close to it. There is no reason I should be retaining!

Anyway, just venting--AGAIN! I was so mad I had to get it out of my system. Thanks for listening!
