"List of other diseases, conditions, or injuries and their treatment: Several fainting spells in childhood and adolesence that were called 'slight seizures' by doctors Informal diagnosis of hypoglycemia and anxiety at age of 13, told to watch my sugar intake. First bladder infection at age of 21, frequent occurance since then (about 6 - 8 times per year) Have taken lots of antibiotics for UTIS Diagnosis of pneumonia - during time of high stress, my move to NY at age of 24 Frequent upper respiratory infections since then I've always had a lot of yeast infections, about once a month or every other month. Right now I have symptoms of a yeast infection and am fighting off another upper respiratory infection. Ahh! Why can't I get rid of it?!

Current medical status: Urinating very frequently (which is not too unusual but even more than normal lately) A lot of white vaginal discharge before my period came earlier this week. Very fatigued. Even more sensitive to sugar / caffeine than usual. I have always had to be careful about eating too much sugar / caffeine / alcohol because it makes me feel ill.. dizzy, lightheaded, faint.

Current medical treatment: I've been feeling really frustrated about getting so many yeast infections and bladder infections and had a feeling it might be related to my blood sugar issues. (I have had two doctors tell me that if avoiding sugar helps control feelings of dizziness or lightheadedness then I should do that - when a fasting blood glucose test was first suggested, the Dr. told me it was probably not necessary to go through such an uncomfortable test if I have already made dietary modifications. (This was after I had a seizure at the dr's office when she took my blood!) I keep a pretty close eye on my diet but I thought that it would be a good idea to buy a blood glucose monitor since my grandmother was recently diagnosed as borderline diabetic."



Blood glucose levels after meals are always higher than the levels read before the meal. A normal range of glucose concentration in the blood when hungry is between 60-115 mg/dL. According to your glucose tolerance test results, you neither have diabetes nor borderline diabetes.
It's not clear whether or not the “seizures” you are experiencing are due to some blood sugar issues. If so, blood laboratory examinations would reveal pathologic blood glucose levels compounded by EEG-abnormalities. According to your medical history, the “seizures” could be due to anxiety (hysteria). Hysteric “seizures” are usually provoked by some stressed situation like taking blood, for example.

Women with diabetes mellitus are susceptible to developing chronic vaginal yeast infections but in your case diabetes is not proven. The same stands for chronic urinary infections, too. You can consult a gynecologist and a nephrologist to investigate why you are experiencing these infections so often. A microbiological examination can be also requested.

Further, frequent upper respiratory infections can be due to a chronic sinus inflammation (sinusitis) or chronic tonsil inflammation (tonsillitis). You can consult an ENT-specialist for advice and to follow up.
