Re: Anyone have hypoglycemia? Need help ASAP!-To Melody

[Guest guest]

I've been tested for Thyroid issues but it always comes back normal. I'm not

so sure though. I have symptoms for that as well. Have had thyroid symptoms

for YEARS now. Makes sense to me that this could well be the problem. Or, one

big one anyway.

If I mention to my hubby that I need to eat NOW, he can take that as 2 or

more hours from now. As much as I've tried to explain the diet to him he

doesn't understand. If we're out and he's driving.....forever it. I may as well

pass out first.

Thanks soo much for your understanding and help. It means alot!

Re: Anyone have hypoglycemia? Need help ASAP!

How awful hon, you poor thing! I'm not hypoglycemic but hubby is or

used to be. He had a physical at the doctor and mentioned how he goes

into shakes at the first sign of hunger. He would pass out if he waited

too long to eat.

A year ago the doc put him on jenuvia for his pancreas, and he also has

an underactive thyroid so he's on levoxyl for that. He no longer get

those 'crashes' and the shakes - after ten years of marriage too. That

was a first. The doc seemed to think it could be his blood sugar levels

or his thyroid, or maybe both.

Not sure if that is of any help, but it sure did help him by leaps and

bounds. For many years if we were out and about and he said " I'm

hungry " I'd say " hold out your hand " so I could see if he was shaking.

If he wasn't shaking, then I knew we had time. If he was shaking, I knew

we had to find him some food NOW.

If you have any questions you want me to ask him, he has some compassion

to spare because he totally 'gets it.'

Hugs,

Melody

Another good thing is to carry hard candy. Have him chew it up, not suck on it.

The sugar will get in his system really quick. You can also buy what they call

Glucose tablets at a pharmacy (no script needed). They melt in your mouth for a

quick sugar fix.
