I am not getting any younger and I can feel a profound effect on my body when my blood sugar gets too high. Let me clarify, I don’t have diabetes, I am also not pre diabetic. However I do tend to be prone to inflammation and I feel it the most when I eat too many sweets or too many grains.
I feel this inflammation in my hands and wrists. It’s like carpel tunnel. For instance when I mow the lawn my hands will fall asleep. I also have troubles with my hands and arms falling asleep at night when I am in bed. My tingling arms and fingers wake me often and cause me to be tired in the day. Another place I feel inflammation is in my lower legs and they ache especially when I try to relax.
One last place I can really feel inflammation is in my back. If I am being careless with my diet my back gets so stiff it hurts to walk. I am a super active gal, I like to garden and keep up with my kids. If I am hurting so much that I don’t want to walk then I know something needs to change.
