I feel strange after eating sugar and industrial pastries.Does anyone know exactly what I have?

Hello everyone,

I just joined this forum, because I have had a problem for a while and that is that, after eating things with sugar, especially industrial pastries, I feel strange.The symptom starts to appear 5 minutes after eating that and lasts approximately 1 hour or even longer.

I would describe the symptom as if it were dizziness, but without exactly being dizziness.I don't know how to describe it, but it makes me uncomfortable.

If I avoid industrial pastries at all costs, sugars and eat healthy, I feel perfectly fine.

The funny thing is that this only started happening to me in the morning, so I didn't give it much importance and now it happens at any time.So, I decided to get tested for diabetes, because I thought that could be it.

The results have shown that I do not have diabetes as such (it gave me a value less than 1, which is very healthy).However, I do have elevated beta cells, by 230%, which I suspect could be the cause of what is happening to me... Could someone confirm this for me?

I apologize if this forum is inappropriate for this question, but I would say that it has a certain relationship with diabetes and since the doctors tell me that what happens to me is so normal, justifying it with "sugar is poison and you should avoid it" (I have been to a general medicine doctor and an endocrinologist), that's why I'm asking here, to see if anyone has an idea... Also, I'm worried about such a high beta cell value.The endocrinologist the other day told me that this value is fine.However, on the internet it says that having such a high value could cause prediabetes, because my cells work more than they should and that overexertion is not good.

Any advice?The doctors I have seen so far seem very unconcerned, for the simple fact that sugar is unhealthy, but it worries me.I have family who have eaten sugar and industrial pastries all their lives, every day, and this has never happened to them.If what happens to me were so normal, my grandmother would not have lived to be 98 years old and half of us would not be alive, honestly.Therefore, I do not consider it normal, I do not know anyone around me, not even with diabetes, with this symptom.

I simply want to know why this is happening to me and if there is something I should do so that my health doesn't get worse, but that they don't send me home with a "what's happening to you, it's normal, you're fine", without any type of "solution".Because this is not normal.

Thank you so much!

It's complicated.But if one day you have a glucose curve, you may discover mild hyperinsulinemia.It is possible that your pancreas reacts too quickly (the first phase begins after 5 minutes).Afterwards you may have a small hypoglycemia.

I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think you will ever be diabetic, although it is very possible that your parents are.

Be careful, I'm not a doctor.If the endocrinologist has not given it importance, it is because he does not have it.If you want to eat sweets, try to do so after a heavy meal, this will make the sugar absorb more slowly.

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like reactive hypoglycemia.

I think the only treatment is to restrict carbohydrates.

And then do some analysis or blood glucose control..., follow the medical recommendation.

For these strange and specific questions, AI usually works well, giving you some clue as to what it could be.


Although I remember the year before I debuted, the bollicaos also gave me a strange feeling, like weakness.
