At the risk of sounding obvious, stop eating sugar or too much carbs.

From what you’ve written, it is an unlikely diagnosis. Not impossible,
but unlikely.

What is a "regular blood test"?. Did it include HbA1c, a full blood
count (White, red, paltelets, lymphocytes etc), a full lipids panel
(trigs, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol) renal indicators, kidney
indicators?

So, get the health insurance sorted now – then go to the doctor. In the
meantime, cut the sugar and reduce the carbs.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. You don’t want it.

@Alan:

Hi Alan,

Many Thanks for taking time looking into this! Maybe I was not clear
in my initial post, when the symptoms occur and when not:

 - When I eat sugar (or too much carbs), I have the symptoms mentioned
 - When I do not eat sugar (or too much carbs), I do NOT have the
symptoms

Therefore I am fully able to control my condition simply by
controlling my sugar/carbs intakes. What I am looking after is more
the cause of it. Diabetes II would make 100% sense, but there is
probably no way having it without the BG going to high.

I had a regular blood test done a while ago and everything turned out
fine.
I already scheduled an appointment with a MD for the CFS, but what I
found so far about CFS is that there is only little they can help you
with.

As far as I understand, almost everybody with these symptoms is
diagnosed as Diabetes Type II. Before I will go to the doctor with
those symptoms, I want to make sure that it is not Diabetes. Otherwise
… well, Diabetes as a pre-condition messes up your chance for
affordable health insurance for the rest of your life.

What is CLL?

Hi Mike

You left out the most important information – what did your doctor say?

The BGs you quote indicate to my unqualified mind that you aren’t
diabetic. The symptoms you mention could be many things – for example,
extreme fatigue is common to many diseases of the blood. I have one,
CLL, as well as the type 2, but it could be CFS or anything – or nothing
and just a dietary problem.

The good news is that, no matter what your problem is, the diet and
exercise changes so far can only have done you some good.

However, stop trying to diagnose yourself. See a doctor, have a full
blood count and any other tests the doctor suggests. Find out for sure.
I very much doubt that you will find yourself qualified to join us.
