Hey Kim my endocrinologist (a specialist in the glands (like pancreas and thyroid and ovaries and so many of them like para-thyroid and adrenal glands and on hormones) he said when one's blood sugars go up or down or are off even for say 2 or so days it will take weeks WEEKS of good blood sugars to feel ANY difference. I was also gonna toss in last time you are also going through odd as it sounds like a sugar and refined flour withdrawal so that would also add up to why so down. ALSO as you said your blood sugars were off THAT WILL toss you...I read my blood sugars MANY times a day and nobodys stays the same or even close so as you are still new to the diet and all...it will take time to FEEL the good effects of a healthy life style..I can recommend a good book if you want its very brainy but may explain
> Dear Fallen...Thank you for your response. I'm new to this blood sugar stuff so I'm wondering if you would be kind enough to clarify your statement that...

My endo told me once even with a few days running high it will take weeks to be well again. NO NOT eat any real sugar or white flour ...you'll be fine.

Mostly sugar eaten non-stop throughout the day. No regular meals. Technically I am only a small amount overweight butI have had elevated blood sugar consistently over the past 18 months and was sent to a registered dietician to deal with this and to "normalize my eating behaviors".

I have not been hungry but I just feel totally slow and depressed. I thought I would feel better with "stabilized" blood sugar. This is so discouraging. I feel I am in slow motion & that my depression has worsened.
