Hypoglycemia (advise needed)

[Guest guest]

I suspected I was experiencing bouts of hypoglycemia and among

several tests I had done it was discovered that my heart rate is in

the low 40's. Had all kinds of tests run by a heart specialist and

have been cleared.

Yesterday I didn't feel good so I demanded a glucose tolerance test

from my PCP. He had previously done a fasting blood sugar and it was

in the 80's. Today my readings were:

9:20 a.m. 97 (before drinking that sugary drink)

10:20 a.m. 122 (1 hr after)

11:20 a.m. 57

12:20 p.m. 85

I remember feeling woozy and dizzy around 11 a.m. and now I know

why. My PCP is recommending an endocrinologist to try to figure out

why my insulin levels are spiking so much. I kind of feel like it

would be just money down the drain, of course the endo. will tell me

the same thing; that I am now hypoglycemic. I feel that maybe

getting on a good eating plan with a licensed nutritionist would do

the job.

What do you all think?

Of course, it will be my decision as to what to do, but just asking

for anyone else's opinion on what would YOU do...

....At least now I know I'm NOT crazy or imagining things. I was

beginning to think that my ailments/woozy/dizziness were all in my

head!!
