Before I took my glucose tolerance test, I worked out every day and ate well proportioned meals that included sugar which is a bad thing. I would eat a snack before working out for an hour or little longer and would have to stop my workout before I passed out. I would get real spaced out and jittery and develop a headache and wouldn't be able to function. Anyway, I took the test and first reading of day at 9 in the morning was 78. I drank the orange stuff and tested again and it shot up to 177. It then started to go down until it was 37. I was in the office waiting for the doc thinking I am gonna pass out now. He came in and told me I was hypoglycemic and if didn't watch my diet I would become diabetic. I told him I couldn't lose any weight and he said hypoglycemia had a part in that but the sugar busters diet would allow me to lose weight. I have been on sugar busters for a week now and I still have episodes if I don't snack every hour. My blood sugar drops to 40 and lower still. I go back august 20th. I also have hypothyroidism that is somewhat treated with 1mg of synthroid. I think I need to see an endocinologist. I feel horrible every day and have no energy and I am not eating sugar..no potatoes, no corn, no pasta, no milk, no ice cream..no nothing..I only eat whole grain breads, lean meats, appropriate veggies and fruits...have not lost nothing and I eat like a dang ol bird. I am seriously depressed here as I am only 28 and feel so horrible every day. Can anyone help me who might have similar symptoms and have been treated...give me some hope please.
