Type 1 diabetic having Ryze mushroom coffee withdrawal.
I started drinking 1 cup a day of Ryze mushroom coffee. 7 months postpartum, I thought why not, lower caffeine. I'm pumping exclusively for my son, so didnt want to drink too much coffee. Have been a type 1 diabetic for 15years. Last Friday I got an a1c done and my endo emailed me the day after saying to stop all supplements as my liver enzymes were elevated and she would do a full liver bloodwork panel in 2 weeks after I've been off everything. I mentioned the mushroom coffee being the only thing I've changed in my routine, and she said to get off of it too. Now I'm in the ER with my blood sugars being high and unresponsive to my fiasp insulin. It's been this way for over 24hours. The cycle of not wanting to eat much, drinking liters of water, elevated ketones, and just overall worry landed me here. Thankfully I had no DKA going on. I'm just hoping my insulin kicks in in the next few days and my metabolism regulated back to normal aka off mushroom coffee. I just fear there is a lack of info regarding this stuff and diabetics. It's toted as lowering blood sugar, but once you stop the coffee...I think it can mess with you big time. Just putting this out there for any other type 1 diabetics. Wondering if anyone has experienced something similar? If you are a type 1 on the mushroom coffee, maybe get some bloodwork done to check your liver. I should have looked into it more before starting it, but warnings are so vague, and I don't want to be the annoying diabetic that is constantly calling their endo to ok every supplement. It was so good I thought I had a real win finding that stuff! Bummer.
