I have been reading through this forum and alot of the people that are listing their personal experiences with the condition seem to have only became hypoglycemic within a year or a few years of time it has shown up. I have been dealing with this sugar problem since I was probably 10-12 years old. I cant remember exactly what age, I just remember the first time I passed out was the first time I ever had any sugar problems and from then on I had them all the time. For me, eating every few hours is normal with snacks inbetween. I am usually ok as long as I eat here and there. I can tell when my body needs food, in alot of cases, my stomach doesnt feel hungry, but my body tells me I need food...which usually when this happens, I will be completely out of it, pay no attention to anything, forget about concentration, its like I am temporarily a robot until I get fueled. I have only passed out maybe 6 times in the past 10 years. Is this a good sign? Since I am a girl, I have noticed that the week before my period, along with all the other pms side effects, my hypoglycemia is at its worst! Any other females notice this? Usually my body will give me hints that I need to eat something soon...but durring the week of pms (pre-menstrual) My sugar levels will just WHAAAM hit me upside the head and like I NEED TO EAT NOW...or else I will pass out. Usually when I have a sugar attack/problem that hits me, I munch on some peanut m&m's...its like a quick fix drug for hypoglycemics....or at least for me. I have never been tested but I'm assuming that is my problem. After reading these forums, I am afraid of what might happen in the future. I didn't realize this was a condition that can be fixed? Is this true? And if it is not fixed, it can turn into diabetes?? I have been dealing with this for 12 years, and its normal to me, I just eat alot and stay skinny at the same time lol...my friends all think its facinating and think I'm nuts! haha. But I don't know how serious my case is. I have always thought it was normal. I havnt passed out in probably 4-5 years. Although I have had a few close calls... Should I be worried about this condition? Or just keep eating like normal, every so many hours and snack all the time...I am a fairly healthy eating person, I try to stay fit and work out and not eat too many crappy foods...But I am worried...is this fixable? will it effect me long term? things such as memory, etc...is it fixable??? or should I just keep dealing with it as normal...
