Question : I am type 2 diabetic. We just returned from a vacation in XXXXXXX MO. We live in XXXXXXX NV. During my visit I experienced, in the middle of the night, extreme dizziness and extreme sweating. It lasted for approximately 20 minutes. The next day I had my blood pressure checked, it was a little high, 140/60. I then checked my blood sugar and it was 594. My blood sugar has never been that high. Since then I am experiencing pain just under my breasts. A feeling of bloating and wearing a bra is extremely painful. Can you tell what is happening?
