Suggest Treatment For Chronic Migraines, Fatigue, Numbness And Tingling In The Limbs And Back
Hello, I had my 3rd baby 5 months ago and I had gestational diabetes with that pregnancy. I went to the doctors a couple of weeks ago and I took a fasting glucose check and my number was 113. My doctor didn t seem to be to concern just wants to see me in 6 months, excersice, watch what I eat. But I am very concerned thinking I should get a second opinion? Seek a different doctor? Considering I don t have history of diabetes in family, I have lost all my baby weight and extra 10 pounds, very painful for me to excercise suffer from fibromyalgia, and watch carb intake because of fibromyalgia. I m worried something maybe going on with my body and I want to prevent diabetes if I can. I just cant even handle the thought of having fibromyalgia and diabetes. I struggle very hard with fibromyalgia dealing with chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, numbness and tingling in arms, hands, legs, just constant excruciating pain in neck, shoulders, and back.

thank you user for your query.
Since you suffered from gestational diabetes and your fasting sugar is coming 113, hence you a case of pre diabetes. Chances for you to develop diabetes mellitus type-2 in later life is likely. All i can suggest you is to keep a watch on your carbohydrate content. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, nuts, butter milk, other milk products (prepared from skimmed milk). Try not to skip your breakfast, instead take light dinner. Exercise almost 30 minutes a day for 5 days in a week. Drink plenty of water and keep a check on your blood sugar monthly.
God Bless
