Not sure if pre-diabetes or type 2.
Menopausal 50 y/o female. Fluctuating weight for 30 years (5'5") 130 - 170 lbs. Last 10 years, Airport baggage security. Before that navy wife, mom, and full time student and tutor and housewife, let alone navy wife. Life has significantly slowed down in past year and have been unemployed for past 6 months. I have gone though alot of emotional and psychological trauma in the last 4 years.
I have leg and foot cramps that are debilitating enough to curl my toes to the soles of my feet when my feet get cold or over-worked.
I experience heart palpitations when I don't eat on a regular basis or if I drink too much coffee.
I am just looking for help or advice on what actions to take and whether or not I have anything to worry about.
I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my son , 26 years ago. My mom has type 2 diabetes. I have an uncle with full blown diabetes that blinded him.
Should I worry about the weight fluxes and foot cramps? |
