runs in the family

[mistuh s a r s]

so for the past month i've been dealing with my health.. which isn't news for some of you.

its different this time though, hallucinations [auditory and visual] painful tingling in feet and migraines.

well today i got blood tests back to explain the migraines and tingling. apparently i'm showing signs of pre-diabetic..ness. which is great and all, since i love sweets [chocolate&dr.pepper] so now my diet is changing rapidly.

but i'm still having the whole, seeing/hearing things problem. i'm going to a diagnostician, dietitian, and neurologist within the next month or so.

so any advice on the whole diabeetus thing would be nice..
and also i would really love to have input on my hallucinations, i'd like to feel like i'm not just crackin.

ps
i don't take narcotics[vicodin,hydrocodone,codeine,etc] anymore [been clean for awhile now]
i am not depressed
i get a good amount of sleep
i have no mental illness

Diabetes can cause eye problems and even blindness in some people. It could be that over time, as you manage your blood sugar levels and etc, the trobles with your eyes will fade, too.

I'm pre-diabetic also. It's... if you go long enough without eating much junk food at all, then those times when you do have it, it tends to overload the senses. I've gotten to where I can taste the tiniest drop of corn syrup, and hate it... except when it's in gummy candies, my downfall. Oh dear god, swedish fish, why don't they sell you sugar free at the drugstore? crying
