new/weird symptoms

[Guest guest]

I recently have been posting more than I used to and I truly appreciate all of

you who have given me valuable information. With that said, I have a few more

questions.

I have been running low blood sugars since about June. (By the way, I have CP,

SOD, etc., etc.) I had a 2 hour glucose tolerance test, which was normal.

Yesterday, I got really dizzy and felt as if I was " tensing up " all of my

muscles, clenching my jaw, etc. I thought my sugar was low so I checked it and

it was 167. I know that most of you will say that that isn't that high, but I

have never had a blood sugar over 126 in about 4 months. I wondered if the

symptoms that I had go along with high blood sugars? If not, what are the

symptoms of high blood sugars? How do you get your sugar to come down? Two

hours later I check my BS again and it went down to 102. I saw my doc last week

and he wants to get more lab work. He doesn't understand why my sugars drop so

low so quickly. He mentioned a possible sarcoma in my back/flank area. He,

therefore, ordered a C-Peptide. What is this test for?

I would greatly appreciate any information you could give me.

Thank you.

I pray for a pain free day for you all!!!!!

Labtestsonline is a decent site where you can find answers to many questions

regarding medical tests.

This one is a bit more technical but the bottom portion explains the use of

C-peptide measurement. (An insulinoma is a tumor in the pancreas that produces

too much insulin)

I hope this helps.
