[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1236599, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=327257]@milodogg[/USER] Welcome to the forum. Your post comes across like I did many years ago, fighting, battling and struggling to get some sense of what the hell was going on. GPs are not trained in rare conditions to do with the metabolism. We cannot do diagnosis on here, but it does sound if you have a form of Hypoglycaemia, as there is many forms of the condition. Only hospital tests can give you a clear diagnosis. This is what you need to do to persuade your GP to get you a referral to a specialist endocrinologist in metabolic conditions. Even then, you can get an endocrinologist that is clueless. But there are some good 'uns! But there is a lot you can do, now, straight away. To try and get control because doing this will help so much. Stay away from what I call the baddies! The usual suspects are. grains, starchy vegetables, bread, rice, pasta, pastries, fizzy drinks, most alcoholic drinks and anything with sugar in it. Manufactured food and processed foods are not advisable. Eat full fat dairy if you can, not low fat or skimmed. Yes, you can eat butter! Eat every three hours, small meals, eat fresh meats, protein, vegetables. There is a quick guide for newbies on our own forum. Go to the top of the page, click on forums, scroll down to reactive hypoglycaemia and click on that button, there is a lot of threads on others that have been in your position. There is lots of threads packed with information. You will have to learn and understand why and how this works for you. You will need a glucose monitor. This will help with finding out what foods you can tolerate. It will help keeping a food diary, to put down all the information on how you are doing and will help your medical team understand what is happening to you. What is healthy for most people is not healthy for you. You will need time to get your head around this. This will take a while to get to grips with but it's really worth it. It is controllable and when you get to the stage that those list of symptoms start abating, you will get your life back. I know, that was me! If you want questions answered, please ask! We will be around. Again, welcome to our forum [/QUOTE]
