sometimes upon waking suffer anxiety,
sweating, irritability, internal shaking,
nausea, headache, tearful, after cup of
tea with sugar symptoms start to subside
after breakfast symtoms subside to nil.
Have started taking blood glucose levels
yesterday.
at bedtime last night levels were 4.8mml
then had banana before going to bed. on
waking took glucose test - 4.9mml, had two
teas and toast then had sunday lunch and
waited 2 hours took test and 5.0mml. will
continue to test for 1 week as symtoms
come and go. Could i have hypoglycemia??
i have good days and bad days. Doctors
are not taking any notice at the moment so
i have taken matters into my own hands and
started testing myself. I do not smoke or
drink alchohol but it seems that my sugar
is low at bedtime and the recommended is
about 8mml.

Normal levels of blood glucose should be
in the range of 3.3 – 6.0 mmol/L. After
eating, it should be less than 7.7 mmol/L.
Blood glucose levels < 3.3 mmol/L are
considered as hypoglycemia. According to
your measurements you neither have
hypoglycemia nor diabetes. Your symptoms
(anxiety, sweating, irritability, internal
shaking, nausea, headache, tearful) are
not due to any hypoglycemia but probably
to a neurotic disorder. The problem is
that you THINK that you may have certain
of these conditions. I can advise you to
stop measuring your blood glucose level
all the time and maybe also to ask for
help from a mental health doctor.
