Extreme low calories is dangerous for me

[Guest guest]

Hi All, “No matter what happens, someone will find a way to take it too

seriously.”

I did it with My CR., low calorie diet.

Bottom line: I was subject to extreme hypoglycemic shock – glucose level of

1.1. I was in as state of no response to stimulation and unconsciousness

for 7 hours. I now stay in the hospital for at least two more days. Bad

news: the CAT chest/abdominal scan today said I have an ascites, which is

fluid leaching in between abdominal organs. My glucose continues out of

normal control. I tire easily, which is maybe to be expected from

pneumonia. I take it easy and when my eating was delayed 4 or so hours by

the CAT scan requirement not to eat, I conserved energy by staying put and

not expending unnecessary energy to lower glucose more. Still glucose level

was low the next test, which was before eating following the initial apple

and small amount of oatmeal. Good news: I feel much better regarding

strength and pneumonia symptoms. It is a likely reason for the glucose

going low. Tests were taken appropriately and I squeak a lot to get the oil

to move investigations of my health. It does help. My weight seems about

where it has been although I eat so much more, I have more nighttime bladder

relief visits, my left leg is swollen and my abdomen seems swollen. This

plus blood glucose and electrolytes, the latter of which has been great even

after the 7 hours of darkness, are signs of I try to eat more fruits,

vegetables, fats and protein also. My abdominal CAT scan confirmed ascites

and the planned MRI in the next two days will hopefully diagnose the

problem.

Cheers, Al.
