Whenever I large amounts of fruit I become extremely depressed. I can only manage to get 6 hours of sleep for the next few days as well. If I manage to get my 8 hours i wake up with a headache. I read somewhere that the liver will wake you up early for those who have diabetes.

Is that your only symptom? I would take a look at the available lists of symptoms of diabetes, and see if you have any of the other ones...

Yes, be sure to check a list of symptoms if you are concerned about diabetes. The only thing I have seen relating to the liver and mornings is that the liver deactivates more circulating insulin in the early morning hours than at any other times of the day. This can cause a rise in blood sugar in individuals with diabetes, even before the first meal is eaten. In general, diabetes can affect mood, energy level and sleep. If you do a search here you will find accounts of those with diabetes that you can check for symptoms that may be explained in a way that is more relatable to than a checklist but the checklists should be looked over as well to make sure you are getting accurate info.

I have diabetes. My liver never wakes me and I have never heard such a thing. What you probably heard was about a liver dump. The body expects food in the morning and if it doesn't get the food, it dumps glucose, making blood sugar go higher.

Unusual weight loss

Increased fatigue

Irritability

I ate huge amounts of apples and oranges for about 3 days. I became extremely depressed. I went to bed breathing heavily and only managed to get 6 hours of sleep. I know it was excessive fruit that caused this. I'm 100% sure. With that much certainty, is it safe to say i have diabetes?

Not without appropriate testing.

And I wouldn't with only those symptoms. Not if you don't get symptoms of blood sugar highs when you're not OD'ing on apples. ;)

It could be an issue with apples. It could be an issue with yeast. It could be a sugar intolerance. It could be a lot of different things. If you suspect diabetes, PLEASE go get tested. It is NOT something to 'suspect' or mess about with in any way.

Fruits have a lot of salicylates. After you rule out blood sugar issues, you could look into the fail safe diet if moderate quantaties also cause symptoms. Blood sugar is the priority here, though.

I was thinking about this subject today... Since I have no lining in my intestines, perhaps the pineapple juices, orange juices, and apple cider vinegar are eating away at exposed flesh? I'm not sure if its a blood sugar thing. If i ate a lot of cake I just feel satisfied. Please help. I'm not 100% sure if i really have celiac, but this could be the smoking gun I need- Acid eating away at my intestinal flesh brought on by villi atrophy.

      I hate to cook!

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential...

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      For minor aches and pains, my go to is Original Alka-Seltzer. Aspirin and bicarbonate. It is dissoved in water before you swallow it so no tablets to aggravate the stomach wall.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      @bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone. Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult. Nutritional deficiencies result. Diseases...

      Welcome @bold-95.   That's a tough situation.   Understanding DHEA Deficiency in Menopausal Women A major cause of hypothyroid is iodine deficiency.  In the 60's bread had 90 mcg, milk 100 mcg per cup and we used iodized table salt.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg,  Now in the US bread does not use iodine as dough condition, milk has a bad name and table salt is avoided.  Net reduction from 1970 to 1984 of 50% of iodine intake.   Urinary iodine levels (mg/dL) in the United States, 6-74 years of age NHANES I, 1971-74 Median 32.00 2NHANES III, 1988-91 Median 14.5 NHANES 2000 Median 16.1 There has been a trend for increased prescribing of levothyroxine (LT4) in the United States.  LT4 was the tenth and seventh most commonly prescribed drug based on the number of prescriptions in 2005 and 2006, respectively. From 2008 to 2011 the number of LT4 prescriptions rose from 99 million to 105 million, with LT4 being the second most prescribed medication.1 From 2012 to 2016 the number of annual LT4 prescriptions increased steadily from 112 million to 123 million, with LT4 being the most prescribed medication.2,3 During 2017 and 2018 LT4 was the third most prescribed medication, with 98 million Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing. DHEA and hypothyroidism are linked, with some evidence suggesting that low DHEA levels may be associated with hypothyroidism.

      For minor aches and pains, my go to is Original Alka-Seltzer.  Aspirin and bicarbonate.  It is dissoved in water before you swallow it so no tablets to aggravate the stomach wall.  The bicarbonate buffers the stomach acid for upset stomach. Willow bark contains a chemical called salicin, which is similar to aspirin. It has pain and fever reducing effects in the body. The last time I took Advil for serious pain it spiked my BP to 190. Some blood pressure medications have been linked to rib pain or musculoskeletal pain as a side effect.  I had to stop Atnenolol because it had me bent over like a 90 year old with a walker.  Another med prescribe by my doctor left my knees unstable.  Currently, Losartan has weakened my back and thighs.  Can't walk to my mailbox at the street and back without having to rest my legs.  Upper body is however increasing muscle mass.  No one believes me though; think I'm malingering.  Those blood pressure meds also had no effect on my BP, but doctor wants me to continue on (man up, its good for you, with the Losartan + clonidine.  What has been working is Clonidine.  It has lowered my BP. but it is considered third tier BP med.  No side effects and it lowers my BP from 160+ to between 115 and 139.

      @bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone.  Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult.  Nutritional deficiencies result.  Diseases can be caused by not having enough of certain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Vitamins are crucial to our bodies functioning properly.  Eating a nutritionally dense diet is important, but to correct nutritional deficiencies, supplemental vitamins are needed.   Over the counter pain relievers like NSAIDs and PPIs can cause additional inflammation and damage to the small intestine.  OTC pain relievers worked for me but they hurt my digestive system worse.  Yes, Cobalamine Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 have an analgesic effect when taken together.   I'm leaving links below so you can see for yourself.   Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins.     https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/#:~:text=Disregarding pain resulting from vitamin,three are given in combination.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   B Vitamins in the nervous system: Current knowledge of the biochemical modes of action and synergies of thiamine, pyridoxine, and cobalamin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31490017/   Role of B vitamins, thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865694/   The Combination of Neurotropic Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 Enhances Neural Cell Maturation and Connectivity Superior to Single B Vitamins https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11987730/
