I actually had the opposite. My LLMD told me I'm becoming slightly hypoglycemic since starting treatment. I need to eat every 2-3 hours or I start feeling weak and unfocused.

Why do you think you are developing diabetes? What are the symptoms?

Have a A1C blood test done to check for the 3 month blood sugar content.


What are the symptoms of diabetes?
People who think they might have diabetes must visit a physician for diagnosis. They might have SOME or NONE of the following symptoms:

Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Unexplained weight loss
Extreme hunger
Sudden vision changes
Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Feeling very tired much of the time
Very dry skin
Sores that are slow to heal
More infections than usual.
Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains may accompany some of these symptoms in the abrupt onset of insulin-dependent diabetes, now called type 1 diabetes.

Informed doctors know that hypoglycemia is really very early stage diabetes. You are still producing insulin, but the body is not using it correctly. Lots of info on Syndrome X or metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance -- goes by all these names.

Some antibiotics do stress the pancreas -- hubby had elevated pancreatic enzymes (lipase and I forget how to spell the other one with an a) at one point in time.

Hypoglycemia can also be caused by adrenal fatigue and any illness can cause this.

Bb is "PFK dependent". We KNOW this from genetic research.

This enzyme (PFK) is "rate limiting" for glycolysis - using sugar, not oxygen, for energy.

This bug prefers sugar to oxygen...our supply.

Into a search engine type in: "Magnesium deficiency diabetes". There are over 2000 websites explaining the impact of low Mg and the development of diabetes.

Mg is supposed to control the enzyme, PFK.

Mg levels DIVE very fast in this disease for multiple reasons as our own bodies try to fight.

Mg is needed to make ATP.
Mg is needed to control over 350 enzymes.
Mg is needed to make all proteins (included are hormones and enzymes). Immunoglobulins (antibodies) need adequate Mg and Ca.
Mg is capable of stimulating DNA REPAIR. (That blew me away.)

This is all documented in a website for doctors explaining the functions of Mg. I have linked that website in my Updated Nutshell post (it starts with mdschoice...)

Mg dives early on in this disease: to make HEALTHY antibodies. Mg dives to try to regain control of PFK. Mg dives to try to inactivate an enzyme that puts the brakes on the cholesterol pathway. Mg dives to make ATP. Mg dives to supply one (of several) nutrients needed to make the neurotransmitters which take a hit...

P.S. Our own sugar levels normally RISE when we are healing. Our WBCs NEED glycogen. After surgeries, it is not unusual to see the blood sugar levels rise for a few months. Doctors sometimes panic too fast, IMO. Your level is high in the am, but drops to below normal later. When it REMAINS high...then there's a problem. The cells producing insulin become "exhausted". Normal blood sugar levels (fasting) were once suggested to be 120/below. Now they like to see it lower. Well...
