I finally found a good doc who LISTENED and understood my symptoms and linked them to hypoglycemia. She looked at my gtt and insulin levels and basically said that my pancreas it overactive and produces too much insulin too suddenly which in turn lowers my blood sugar too suddenly.
She referred me to a dietitian (we'll see if they know anything more than I do...) and interestingly she wants me to start taking the Diabetes drug metformin.....
Has anyone out there had experience taking this drug as a hypoglycemic??? Feedback??
She said it may or may not help me but it's worth a try. She said it functions by decreasing insulin production which might help with the overactive pancreas....
