Hi everyone, i am a 22 year old male currently in university.

About two weeks ago, i seem to have progressively become unable to intake my typical dinner, which was about 5-6 servings of rice and meats/vegetables. At its most serious, after 1 hour of taking in the food, i immediately became disorientated and had to lie down, at which point i will fall asleep.

One of the stranger days, which i thought i was completely cured (before learning of hypoglycemia) i devoured a serving of french fries with gravy without any visible effects for 5 hours. During dinner, i had yet another large plate of rice and assorted foods and had no problems until i slept, which was 4 hours later. However, after sleeping 30 minutes, i woke up with very bad palpitations and even numbness throughout the hands.

I am thinking that this is very strange, since i had no symptoms with the starchy french fries and the problem with the rice did not appear until much later.

Anyways, the family doctor suggested that i may have low blood sugar in my prior visit so i began to visit websites and removing refined sugars from my diet.
Yet another strange thing happened that seem to contradict what i read to seem to be prevalent in most hypoglycemics.

After a few days of adjusting, i was able to eat whole wheat grains as well as mashed potatoes and pasta (not alone) with only minor anxiety an hour or two afterwards. This was markedly different from the dirorientation and fatigue a few days prior. After two days on this diet, i had no mind fogs or fatigue throughout the day and slept well. The only issue was the slight bouts of anxiety.

I typically had 2 slices of whole wheat bread, whole grain cereal with milk and ham/lettuce in the bread for the morning.
For lunch i had some salad sometimes with protein, and a side of either mashed potatoes or vegetable pasta (white wheat probably).
I did not typically have a mid-morning snack, but rather ate a fruit between lunch and dinner.
For dinner i had half a chicken breast with about 1 serving of carrots and 100g buckwheat noodles in a soup.

Most websites i visit state that it takes weeks for hypoglycemic symptoms to die down, and i was reduced to only slight anxiety after i eat within half a week. Is this normal for hypoglycemics or does it suggest something else?

I've visited the doctor again for blood works, and as many people mentioned, they do not seem to understand hypoglycemia. It is such a pain. However, he did a blood test on me and here are my results:

Fasting: 82.8
1:20 after ham sandwich (2 slice wheat bread) milk: 75.6

Although 75.6 is within normal range, i am thinking that i did not take a sugary enough meal after the fasting to truly test for the effects. As well, would the mere dropping below fasting mean hypoglycemia? Or might this be a milder case of it. I understand these results are very poor compared to OGTT, so it is ok if a result cannot be found from it. I will be attempting to request a OGTT on wednesday, and i hope that goes well.

This seems to also contradict reactive hypoglycemia, which is what i may have. Waking up to symptoms and the symptoms not dying down even if i ate? Could the vitamin be the problem, or maybe the brown rice staying in the system too long?

I am greatly confused about my symptoms, and it has really taken a toll on my mental and physical health. I live alone, far away from my family for school so it is a bit more difficult to cope than usual as well. I feel very painful sometimes.

I acknowledge that i may have written too much and nobody here is probably a trained doctor and i should probably not be expecting too much in terms of replies. However, any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated from people who have a great deal of wisdom on hypoglycemia.

Thank you very much for listening as well, and perhaps taking the time to reply to this post. I greatly appreciate it.
