is it related to food intake?

Accepted Answer

: In type 2 Diabetes your body either resists the effects of insulin, a hormone that regulates the movement of sugar into your cells, or doesn't produce enough insulin to maintain normal glucose levels. Steady, long term weight loss is the only way to reverse this disease. You should be monitoring your glucose levels daily to avoid hypoglycemia and take the prescribed medication.

Question 2

6 days after h pylori treatment, getting burning pain in stomach after food and lightheaded from bloating. also a lot of fatigue. ?

Accepted Answer

H pylori: Just started treatment or completed treatment?  If just started - the medications including the PPI ( i.e. Dexilant or Prilosec) may not agree and may need change . if completed treatment and symptoms recurred,   may not have been completely treated and may need another regimen to eradicate H pylori which can sometimes be difficult .

Question 7

what is adrenaline fatigue?

Accepted Answer

Bogus diagnosis: There is no true medical entity called adrenaline or adrenal fatigue or sluggishness.   It is a way for some unscrupulous people to feed off the fear and desperation of people who are tired and depressed. Go to hormone.Org and look at the hormone foundation's statement.

Question 8

can metformin cause fatigue?

Accepted Answer

In some people: But it is generally mild and resolves after several days or weeks. If you are taking other diabetes medication as well that has the potential to lower your glucose below normal (which metformin by itself generally doesn't do) it could cause you to be fatigued. Check w/your doctor.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: They are harmless.

Question 10

how can i get past cfs fatigue?

Accepted Answer

No easy answers but: CFS is challenging but the key is proper diagnosis. By definition those with CFS have had treatable causes ruled out but my experience is that most with "CFS" have undiagnosed hypothyroidism/thyroiditis, chronic Lyme disease with coinfections like Babesia, Bartonella and Mycoplasma, parasites, food sensitivities, heavy metal toxicity etc. Some have sleep apnea.
