Guest guest Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 I'm 26 months post-op and may have experienced my first hypoglycemic attack. Every time I would read about someone new experiencing this I would ask myself why that person wasn't being careful of their daily diet. Please forgive me for thinking that...this thing caught me completely by surprise! I've been reading the archives, do I understand correctly that carbs could trigger this? I thought carbs turn into sugar in your body and hypo is low blood sugar.? Anyway, I have been in a kind of depressive mood lately, too many car problems, friend of my son's died in a car accident, loss of a new boyfriend, etc. About an hour ago I started feeling very shaky, my arms were extremely weak, I felt an inner feeling I can't describe. Called a friend who is hypo and she suggested a few things to eat. I could only find some saltine crackers and a can of chunk pineapple and that seems to have done the trick. I also read in the archives of someone having an anxiety attack and confusing it with hypo. If I go to my PCP tomorrow or Tuesday, fasting, would they be able to tell, or is there a certain sugar test just for this? I have always been the proud one to say I experienced NO health problems/complications as a result of my WLS, surely not hoping to start now...
