worried about my health..

**GR_Champ** · 01-26-2009, 10:49 PM

i was doing very good natural training and had to get surgery. in 2 weeks i lost about 11 lbs. my doctor allowed me to start light exercising and jogging so i did so. my diet prior to surgery was averaged around 3200 kcals/day. post surgery i was probably somewhere around 1500-2000 kcal. Now that i am completely healed i started back on my schedule. my weight went down a little but not dramatically. I increased my intake to 3500 kcal/day in hopes to regain my lost weight and get to normal.

but the problem comes in that recently for the past week i have been having what i thought of early diabetes symptoms.. very dry mouthed, frequent urination, acid-ketodosis taste, when i stood up quickly i would get a bit dizzy and my vision was blurry for about 2 days

i went from intense training to nothin for about 4 weeks in total.. the 5th into 6th week was when i was experiencing these symptoms.. now week 7 out of surgery i am feeling good in the gym and staying on my diet but still urinate more often than i use to and someee times ill have dry mouth.

i know a decent amount about nutrition and how the body works in diabetes and why stuff happens etc.. if i keep eating better, exercising daily, will my muscle cells uptake the glucose and minimize the symptoms to almost never.
would i urinate less due to the bodys need and usage of proteins and my kidneys not flushing my water stores?

-not really sure where this should be but hopefully its in the right section.
thanks guys for help in advance

Hmm, probably best to talk to your doc about all this. You really shouldnt have became that detrained in 5 weeks. It is pretty easy for them to test for things like that to.

Bad news aside it is something that is easily managed my medical care and exercise if it turns out you do have diabetes. The thing you do not want to do is let it go on and damage yourself and have long term problems from it.
