| | | Headaches...
So I have realized that lately when I eat dinner, lunch, whatever. I immediately start getting a headache that last sometimes for hours and it seems like my vision is like glossed over or something!
This happen to anybody else? |

| | | How is your blood sugar at the time of the headaches? I find I get headaches if i'm higher than usual. Blurry vision (like looking through plastic) can also also be a sign of high blood sugars.
Also, if you're eating out a lot, you may be having foods that have MSG in them...which can trigger headaches in some people.

| | | Annoying.... these headaches cause me to test more! Curently only get 200 strips every 3 months. I am sure I could get more if need be but I just wish they would just go away. |

| | | If this is any consolation, I find that I get headaches when my levels go above 105. Whenever I am able to keep them below 100, I am nearly always headache free.
Getting the headaches has only one advantage though. I know that I probably have over reached the above limits so if I haven't pigged out on a previous meal, or eaten a different food, I usually don't test anymore, saving myself the cost of one strip.
For me headache = time to go for 1/2 walk.
This darn Diabetes has its own unique way to ensure we never forget about it and really have no alternative but to look after ourselves.
