Does This Sound Like Diabetes?

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?

[tarnalberry]

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.
