Hey guys. Texting this on my phone so I apologize for the formatting, or if spell check screws me lol.
So lately I've been obsessed with taking my blood sugar. I bought the machine cause I suspected I was hypoglycemic because of the symptoms I was getting. Turns out I'm not. But I believe I may be prediabetic. In the morning my blood sugar is anywhere from 5.5 - 6.0 this is after 8 - 9 hours of fasting. I'm not overweight, I eat really well. My grandfather had type two diabetes but he was a little overweight.
I'm freaked out and I'm OBSESSING. I bought a new blood strip box yesterday. It comes with 100 strips. I've already gone through half of that. Serioisly. My poor fingers, not to mention it's not sanitary. But I can't stop till I get a good number (being under 5.5) which rarely happens. The highest I've seen it after eating was 7.2? About an hour or two after I ate. There so mix conflicting information on the internet. I can't tell what's normal and what's bad. I just need to stop and I can't.
Any advice? I'm thinking about going to the er tomorrow after I fasted for the night to see what they think. I'm just scared of prediabetes.
