So I asked my NP to sent a request over to the lab so I could get some bloodwork done... lately I've been very tired yet cannot sleep at night, weak, feeling cold all the time, very hungry and thirsty, and occasionally lightheaded and/or dizzy to the point of nauseousness. I have no idea what I weigh because the scale terrifies me and the BMI is a crock of **** anyway, but I am scared that I'm starting to gain weight. I have Hashimoto's disease and hypothyroidism, but I am very very scared that the real explanation may be type 2 diabetes. In January of 2014 I was diagnosed with prediabetes, but I worked extremely hard to resolve that, and my A1Cs have been normal for over a year. I still stick to a low-carb low-fat diet and exercise frequently every week. I am NOT diabetic, I CAN'T be diabetic-- NOT after everything I have been through, NOT after going from size 1X to size 4, NOT after working so unbelievably hard. Hell no... I don't know what I will do if I find out I am. I was going to get the bloodwork done tomorrow, but I am absolutely terrified. If I am diabetic I will lose it, completely and totally.
