Blurred Vission, Cold finger tips and Tingling...My Story to learning I had DIABETIES

[maisah]

I had been waking up with cold finger tips and tingling finger tips for about 2 weeks... I passed it thinking I slept wrong on my arm or something... then the thirst, but I did not think anything of that either... I figured I was not drinking anough, then the vision went to fuzzy haze over my eyes... I could not figure it out, then it hit me... I may have DIABETIES. I was not scared or worried... it runs in my family, my Nana, Mother, my Sister, 3 Uncles maybe more cuz of some great uncles....

You know the weird thing... I started to exercise 2 week ago on the reg...lol and pop...diabetic Alahumduilah..(all praise be to Allah (God) it was his will and I am grateful for that.... I am on Metformin 2x a day and this goes hand in hand with today's journal theme..."Portion Size when you eat" I made a post about that...

I walk every morning, I eat smaller portions, I drink a lot of water any way.. and I eat a snack in between my meals.... so my one meal a day is out... and I know that was bad... very bad...and I have to say this low Carb thing and eating smaller meal and the snack and walking has boosted my  matab and I have lost... I do not know how much but insh'Allah (God willing) will see soon....

Alhumdulilah! I am doing good.... my vision is not blurry any more, been on the meds for a week... seemed for ever for it to get clear again...but I woke one morning and it was clear I called my girlfriend and Yelled, I CAN SEE....lol... but I was happy... shoot when I took dh to the Dr.s  I mentiond to the Dr what was going on with me... and he tested my blood for sugar levels and it was 300+... it is down now.... :)

I hope I can find a good Diabetic Group here...

SubhanAllah. The whole vision thing is the scariest. My mom went through pretty much the same discovery a few years ago. She's on the same meds as you. May Allah make this journey easy on you. I admire you for your positive attitude mashaAllah.

Sorry to hear about the diabetes sis, Alhamdulillah that you seem to be taking it your stride, and seem to understand what diabetes is all about, Theres some that dont recognise its signs, and theres some that dont get it requires a lifestyle change, carefully watching the diet. May Allah help you in controlling it.
