Hi
3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia.In February my family witnessed one of these fainting moments for the first and worried I had a seizure and had called 911, the only thing that I recall right before is that I suddenly felt really sick and had felt shakey and weak. I had ate 45 minutes (no more than an hour previous and my glucose level was 92). Long story short I had a 5 hour GTT and droped in the 3rd hour to 58. I haven't been to an endo yet but am wondering what they do exactly.
I also have a neurology appt. next week to go over EEG results for the seizure activity I had. Can being diagnosed with Hypo make a huge difference in what he is looking for?
Right now things have been kind of rough, I am learning about the diet etc. and reading "Hypoglycemia for Dummies" but still am having a hard time with still "crashing" with really bad shaking spells and blurred vision. The only thing I haven't cut completely yet is the caffine but it's been hard. Any other good wake-up tricks? I'm so used to coffee it's hard to break the cycle.
