Not at the moment, apparently. My blood sugar test came back at the low end of normal, which my doctor attributed to just having not eaten for 9 hours since the night before. I get my blood sugar checked every now and then, because I'm constantly surprised I don't have a problem. Every few months I go through a week where I'm having very obvious blood sugar issues. However, I beginning to suspect that they occur only when I consistently don't watch my diet for a week or two and eat more sugar than usual. That seems to make me more sensitive to blood sugar issues. As I proved again this week, sticking to my normal diet seems to allow things to right themselves after a few days. Perhaps I'm prone to blood sugar issues, but usually I stick to a good diet so I've never let it get far enough to prove anything on medical tests.
My main concern is fatigue. But after having a week of blood sugar issues...I can feel the difference between blood sugar tired and whatever mysterious tired I have most of the time. I'm tired all the time. Well, not all the time. I'm capable of getting energy moving when I need to. But sitting still at the desk working makes me really feel it during the day. And it seems I get more energy later in the day after I've had several meals. I think I just haven't had sufficient time to rest in the past few months, combined with not being careful regarding a workout/diet routine that works for me. I have been working out for a few months, and lately I'm finding the workouts having a more negative effect on my energy. So, I'm backing off the workouts for a bit and I plan on seeing a nutritionist to help me figure out how much more I should be eating if I intend to remain the type of person who hits the gym 5 days a week.
