Hi,
@bods,
Welcome to our forum.
First question, how do you know you are having hypoglycaemic episodes?
Do you have a glucometer to test yourself?
Why did you change your diet?
If you are having regular episodes, it is what you are eating.
But, until you get a proper diagnosis, and start finding out what is causing the episodes, I am in the dark as much as you.
I can only tell you of my experience and some dietary advice which can help control Hypoglycaemia.
Hypoglycaemia has many causes, but the usual dietary intake can be significant in triggering the excess insulin response which lowers blood glucose levels to hypo levels.
Because of how your digestive system works, if you are hypoglycaemic, the glucose derived from your meals is used quickly and either your first insulin response or your second insulin response, gives you too much high circulating insulin into your blood, that causes the hypo over the next couple of hours. Depending on how much, carbs, protein and fats we have ate, will the hypo start happening, for someone like me, it can be between three and a half hours to four and a half.
A glucose tolerance test will have me going hypo at four hours every time.
A referral to a specialist endocrinologist is necessary for doing the tests required for diagnosis.
Your doctor cannot have the necessary training to recognise symptoms. Unless he's been trained specifically for metabolic conditions of that type, and still would not have the facility for the necessary tests. Only hospitals can do these tests.
Even if you don't have Hypoglycaemia, having a glucometer will help you put your mind at ease.
And yet, you could have a food allergy. Or something similar.
Best wishes
