Q: Can anyone help me, I think I have hypoglycemia!

For ever now I have been feeling faint, abdominal pains, headaches like crazy, esepecially after I eat a fattening meal or something that had sugar, constant mood swings and crying out of no where...anyways ya get the point, but now I am getting a little worried because my memory is going. I can't seem to remember anything! My mom thought maybe I could have diabetes, but diabetes doesn't really run in my family. I was always curious though, if I might have it because I would get horrible headaches from just eating a small amount of sugar(meaning like a mint)...so I found out my neighbor had diabetes and I used his blood sugar level checker to check mine. Before I ate it was 84 and then I checked it again after eating and it was still at 84, so he suggested I drink some orange juice to see if it would raise my levels (which always does for him) and when I checked my blood sugar it went down to 51 in a matter of 10 minutes. I am a little worried because I started researching it and I saw that too low levels of blood sugar can lead to seizures as well as coma. CAN ANYONE HELP...I don't have health insurance, so I am sort of in a bind.....and my boyfriend thinks I am just overreacting....which is making me feel like I am making all this up!! Please I know there is something just not right!
