A1C results are coming next week, fingers crossed

Hey AWOL I just had an Endoscopy two days ago and Doctor found a Hiatal Hernia as well as inflammation of stomach (Gastritis). I've reintroduced gluten as well to find results on blood work next week. During the procedure the Doc took biopsies for Celiac and other disease.

Although I'm already fatigued and weaker than I've ever been.

Thank you for the informative links, much appreciated. I am not diabetic, just self monitoring because of the strange symptoms I've experienced this year, one of those being hypoglycemia. All doctors tests negative for diabetes. Stool tests as well, negative for parasite/ bacterial. Used to eat whatever I wanted but wheat, rye, barley don't sit well. Been...

Hello all, newbie here... I've gone through hell this year physically. It all started a little over a year ago with stressful triggers like starting my masters program and taking on leadership roles at work and not sleeping because of our beautiful newborn son. But after my third stomach bug, that one had me crying on the toilet at midnight three nights...
