Low blood sugar? Something else?

[Tippiechick]

I am hypoglycemic. I have to check my blood sugar three times a day. (Although, I have gotten it regulated to the point of knowing when it goes higher or lower and only checking it then.)

You'll probably have to keep a food diary and a level diary for a week. That's what they had me do.

They also wanted to put me on a diabetic diet. But, that only caused it to go lower. (I usually have levels of 65-85, with 70 being normal. It stayed between 50-65 with me feeling faint on the diabetic diet.)

I have had to cut out a lot of sugar. I use a lot of Splenda, sugar-free products, and equal. Weight Watchers has also helped. Not only did it help me to lose some weight, it also helped me learn to eat healthier.

I drink more water instead of Cokes. I have to graze all day instead of eating meals three times a day. It is important that I keep something in my bloodstream every two-three hours.

Good luck.

P.S. They may do a glucose-tolerance test on you. They'd give you something to drink and then would take your levels over a period of time for hypoglycemia. My levels were so low, they had no question it was hypoglycemia.
