Oh yeah, I had that for awhile, generally lasting most of the day. It took awhile for it to go away and i've noticed that I can kind of trigger it still, but it's nothing like it was before and I can't remember the last time it really happen for more than a second or two.

Thanks stan. How are you feeling overall right now?

Really, really good. I've noticed I get better and better, it's just such a slow progression that one tends to forget it's even happening. I just found something too that is great. Maybe not for you because I seem to remember you don't like green vegetables too much. You may want to try throwing in some brussel sprouts every other meal each day. They pack a huge nutritional wallop including 90% of your vitamin c in one serving! Vitamin c can help with mood swings and generally mental stability (as well as concentration) so adding them in there helps with that in addition to having a ton of carbs in only a small amount. Only 6 teeny little things = 8g of carbohydrates! Pretty impressive, and makes the next phase, which i'm going to try in the next few months, easier to go into because I plan on adding back in grains and I can build up carb tolerance very easily with these little beauties. They don't taste the best unless you like them, but boy do they ever help!

Yeah im not a big fan of vegetables, I have developed a taste for broccoli by just eating it so much. I dont know if I will like brussel sprouts but I will try them out. So we'll just see. But thanks for the reply. Glad to here your doing good.

i get that. The first time I got it I was 11. Wow, that was a strange day. Just woke up one morning and it felt so different, dispite the fact that everything was just as normal as ever. Lasted all day and kinda freaked me out a little. It was like everything was normal, but something was different, I just couldn't figure out what.

I've had that a few times since, not often though. More commonly, I get the "personal depersonalization" for lack of a better word, where you kinda realise you are you. That sounds really strange but it's like your mind suddenly realises who you are and starts thinking outside your body, if that makes sence. It's almost as if your mind disconnects with your physical self and starts questioning the basis of everything you've known as reality... It's so strange..

Okay, I completely messed up explaining that but hopefully you get what I mean

Oh man, do I ever get that! If my sugar drops low enough, i'll get that and sometimes think things to myself like "woah, check it out, this is my hand!" pretty pathetic, but actually it can be useful because it shuts down your sense of inhibition, which makes for giving great speeches.

It's related to sugar levels? Wow, I never knew that... I think perhaps i've been developing hypo ever since I was around 11 then...

also, what is it with this site? It always messes up capital letters...

I don't know, something about the coding, you can do it with html but it's a pain. Yeah, it's actually one of the most common symptoms. I think pretty much everyone i've talked to that has it has had that symptom. It's the least necessary area of the brain, so it gets shut down the first is my theory.

thanks for that, the capital letters thing has be bugging me for a while.

Anyways, I agree with your theory. It's interesting what hypo can do to ya.

I know this post is old, but this makes me feel so wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this topic, guys. My dad had hypoglycemia kick in real bad when he was my age (26), and he had this issue but he didn't go into too much depth talking about it because it's somewhat secretive. I've had it so bad over the first couple months into my diet that sometimes I feel like my life is just a dream that I can't wake up from. I've never had this issue before I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, but I still really began to worry about myself. I've felt like I'm going nuts at times, but then it fades out throughout my day -- often depending on the foods I eat. My overall discomfort last month was excruciating. I started talking to a therapist because of it, but I'm beginning to feel better this past week. So many doctors don't understand hypoglycemia. It has such a massive effect on the brain. When I think back to when I was first diagnosed, I was a total basket case. Each day brings better feelings, it just takes time and patience.
