This may sound like a totally stupid question because I know virtually nothing about diabetes, but I'm a 28 year old female and I've been experiencing some very strange things and I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with my insulin levels. Anyone in the know, please give me some insight.
1. Sudden headache and painful stomach that hits within 30 min. of eating carbohydrates (from white/wheat pasta, breads, potatoes, corn, baked goods like donuts, etc.). I call it the "Carbo rush." And it is NOT pleasant.
2. Feelings of extreme and uncomfortable restlessness followed by bouts of fatigue so badly that even espresso doesn't help (actually, that just causes the restlessness which is worse than the fatigue)
3. Intense cravings for donuts, chocolate, sugary cereals, cookies, cake - anything high in fat and sugar. Cravings so bad that I often find myself eating six donuts in twenty minutes and waking up several time a night to pig out on these foods.
Any ideas?
