I am crashing hard after one day trying that stuff. I don't have blood pressure or tachycardia issues, but i probably do now! I simply don't like how i am feeling and am debating if i should go to the er. Feels like my heart is beating outside of my chest.
The in-laws pushed me into trying(or basically sell to me) thrive after my wife told them that i was researching the best supplements or herbs for my blood sugar issues. I currently take metformin but dr suggested i may need to start insulin if it doesn't go down. Before trying Thrive, I started my own regimen on wednesday. Which consisted of few herbs, creatine, and an amino acid. By friday, my blood sugars were starting level off and stay below 180. Before it was in the 280-400 range.
So other day the bro in law dropped off a free starter pack and said to let him know how it helped after trying it on Saturday. I really didnt want to try it because i had my doubt with the stuff and what i was taking seemed to help. I didn't take any of my supplements while trying thrive but all day i felt wierd, almost out of body like experience. I was numb and jittery all day. Now it's 2am and i still haven't slept! I can feel it wearing off, but not it's enough.

Any, any supplement or ANY sort of thing you ingest and are diabetic can cause a reaction.
That's why it's imperative you tell your doc what you plan to take or are taking.
Please consider going to the ER if you are greatly concerned and it stays on you longer.
You got me worried. Dear God.

ETA, lots of caffeine in this product. Which would give you a lot of the issues youre having.

Diabetes is nothing to kid around with. I've had type 2 for 20 years and treatment starts with diet and exercise, then often metformin, then insulin.
However, since your body is screwed up with blood sugar management in the first place, it can unexpectedly go low. Which can cause immediate problems.
Need I say that taking unknown proprietary meds is not the best idea?

(28,151 posts)Saw in a comment that you're drinking water, that's good! It will likely pass if you're reading this.
Now you can honestly say you tried it and it's not for you.
In future, suggestions like this should be met with firm but gentle Thanks but I've got on just the right combo and will not change. Should it stop working I'll give your suggestion a try. Change subject.

I never had a blood sugar problem but have heard of this film below through raw foods also Gymnema Sylvestre and indian herbs may or may not help you regulate your reading
Yes insulin if you have to, but try what you can to be at a reading where you do not need it but you have to maintain that reading not swing during the day
Here but must love salads and green smoothies
also dont play around with insulin amounts if you gain weight on it . I had a family member make the mistakes mentioned below

you could crash anytime so be ready for sleep even if you right now cant
I'll watch the video in the morning but I am feeling much better. Drank a lot of water, with some milk and peanut butter with celery. I didn't want to try the stuff but BIL insisted, it's like a cult. Hopefully they'll come to their senses about it.
