My blood sugar level is close to 120 every morning and it use to be in the 80's. I am wondering if the Crystal LIght is causing that because I just starting drinking that about 2 weeks ago and I wake up with my insides shaking and having to go to the bathroom more and have an incredible thirst most of the time.
I assume you're not drinking two gallons of the stuff every day, just a couple of glasses, right? I don't know if CL has aspartame or Splenda as its sweetner, but either one shouldn't drive your blood sugar up 40 points. Thirst and peeing too much are two classic symptoms of high blood glucose levels.If your fasting blood sugar is 120, it's very possible you're up around 200 after meals (are you testing to see? you should be), so that might explain that. Not sure about the shakiness, but some folks do get shaky from either highs or lows.
Something's changed, for sure, and whether or not it's CL that's responsible for that change or not (I doubt it), you need to find out what's going on. If I were you, I'd discontinue the CL for a week or two, step up the testing (and keep a careful written log of the results so you can see in black and white what's going on), and consult with your doc if you don't see things come back into line.
