Yes, my LLMD said that Lyme can cause fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin which can exacerbate symptoms.

Yes, I had this. I lost weight, overall, as well. I'm not sure if that was more the lyme or more the treatment, but was probably a combination of both.
Rice and beans and cooked veggies was a good combination. Stuff that was too sugary was not good.
Pay attention to what you take your various meds with. It's a good idea to keep a LD journal, to optimize your recovery.

Yep, I have this too. My blood sugar tends to run very low. It helps to eat very regularly, and to not go longer than a few hours without a snack.

I also find that lowering my carb intake has helped. Eat good snacks, with at least some protein and fat each time.

Patti, me too!

In Jan. 04, I was dx w/type 2 diabetes; so I feel sick to my stomach after 2-3 hours...must eat!

I'd lost 17 lbs., and due to the abx, I have now gained back 7 lbs. LLMD said I wouldn't lose due to regiment of abx & benicar.

Hard to walk with a really bad heel spur!

I'm trying to stick to what diabetes educators taught me earlier in year.

Good luck. Betty G., OIowa

yes! I keep zip bags of nuts in my car, and have been made fun of for stopping at the grocery store just to buy a single pkg of goat cheese and baby spinach!

Yes, I am another one whose blood sugar drops very regularly especially in the mornings.

Anybody else find that the mornings are worse?

YES my body rash (right now my WORST symptom) itches and itches in the A.M. and in the afternoon if I go too long without eating. I also notice my heart palps come and go at that time. This rash is HELL.

(but it IS going away) 2 steps foreward... 1 step back>
