Hi everyone. I just registered onto this site and hope I am putting my post under the right topic.
I started the HCG diet and injections 9 days ago and feel absolutely horrible. I am also borderline diabetic. I have been following the diet EXACTLY as I should (500 calories). I can not get my blood sugars to get above 80. I get shaky, nausea (throwing up every morning), "foggy headed", weak, dizzy, blurred vision, grumpy, or crying spells because I feel so awful. When I eat, I get very nauseated 1/2 way through meal and have to gag the rest down. It takes me about 45min just to eat a meal so I won't throw it up.
I have searched every where and no one seems to have this same problem. What am I doing wrong? I've tried leaving off the fruit items and increasing veggies, it helped a little, but not much. I even tried breaking up my meal so my sugar wouldn't get so low in between meals, and that made it worse. I just don't know what to do. I have lost 8.5lbs so far, but I'm beginning to think that it isn't worth it to feel like this every day. I need to lose the wt before my diabetes gets out of control, but I can't keep feeling like this. My kids and hubby are worried about me. I don't know if this would have anything to do with it or not, but I had a complete hysterectomy about 4yrs. ago and am not on any Hormone replacement therapy.
I was hoping someone could help me out cause I don't want to quit, but I just don't see any other option....please help.

I am a Type 1 diabetic and hate the way I feel when I am low. It sounds like you need to eat more to keep your blood sugar in a normal range. It is very dangerous to walk around low all the time. I am surprised a doctor would allow a border line diabetic to go on this type of diet. I think you should call your doctor and let them know what is going on.
Please keep us updated on how you are doing.

I've modified my food plan a little bit. I obviously have to increase protein. So, what I do now is eat about 2oz of meat in am. Mid morning, I eat 1/2 fruit. Lunch I eat 4oz. meat, veggies, 1/2 fruit, and the melba toast or grissini. A few hrs. after lunch, I eat 1/2 fruit. Supper time I eat 4oz. meat, and veggies only. Before going to bed, I eat another 2oz, meat, 1/2 fruit, and melba toast or grissini. It's helping, sometimes my sugar still gets a little low, but much better than it was (the other morning my blood sugar was 48!!  )
With the diet changes, I realize that I may not lose as much weight and not as quickly, but that's ok too. I'm just happy with any wt. loss as long as I'm feeling better.

Is it safe if I personally have a history of high blood pressure, still have a heart murmur, and have a family history of high blood pressure, diabetes,heart disease, and thyriod. I would be interested to hear from some one who has been on the diet about their experiance on it and if it has long term effects.
