2.5mg MJ not working for diabetes or weight loss
I'm coming up on week 4 of MJ @ 2.5MG and have noticed side effects (nausea, gas, fatigue), improved GMI and slightly lower blood sugar.
I'm prescribed MJ for T2 diabetes, not weight loss (insurance won't approve for weight loss) so I doubt I'll ever get too much of a higher dose even though I weigh 225lbs, 5ft 11 inches tall.
I'm consistently in the 100-130 Blood sugar range except for when I exercise, then it goes as low as 54 but it goes back up to the low 100's pretty quickly. I'm also on 44 units of long-acting insulin and short acting as needed. If I consume carbs (brown rice, raisins) my blood sugar goes to 140-145.
My daily calorie goal is 1,850, which I never come near. I walk between 9,000-10,000 steps a day, every day. I lost 6lbs prior to starting MJ and have gained it all back. I measure and track all my food to the T.
Going to my PCP tomorrow, I'm going to shoot for 5mg MJ.
Any comments or personal experiences would be appreciated.
Wish me luck.
