OTOH as I said in a previous post, it could be something else ranging from a

mild treatable disorder to something very serious and a complete checkup is

in order. Headaches, dizzyness, fatigue can be anything from a harmless

virus or on the more serious side, a brain tumor. GO GET CHECKED.

Perhaps I spoke out of turn - this obviously was not intentional.

I'm not discouraging anyone from getting tests in general - I

agree, it could be something other than low blood sugar and it

should be tested. I am discouraging people from expecting a blood

sugar test to be a definitive diagnosis of low blood sugar. My sugar

has never tested " low " , but I can tell you right now I'd be six

feet under right now (not an exaggeration) if I did not follow a low

blood sugar diet. IMHO, the tests to date for LBS are simply not

sophisticated enough to determine this particular condition.

Hi all,

I had these symptoms in the mornings after starting cr and I realized that a

combination of a lowfat, small breakfeast and too much caffeine were the

result. Caffeine, in my case at least, requires a good bit of food and fat

to keep it from overwhelming me, so check that out if you have'nt already.

Regards,

Mike Colella

Just a BTW. My ASD son did not have low blood sugar (he was tested

frequently at first because he was a large-10lb 3ou-baby), but my second,

NT, son did because I had to have a C-section and he went without his mama

and her boobs for about an hour. He actually got sweaty it was so low.

Also, I think that blood sugar is not considered low in babies till 40 or

less.
