Hi,
I'm new here so sorry if I am posting in the worng place. I am bit confused over a recent diagnoses and wondered if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction? I know any advice ofered will be of an experiance nature and not medical, but it may just help me out.
About 20 months ago I was admitted to hospital with a suspected heart attack. After investigation it was decided I was not cardiac, but needed to see the Endocrine team.
After many months of tests for just about everything from Thyroid to Carcenoid, I was told the results of a fasting blood test revealed Reactive Hypoglycemia.
My results on fasting were 13.5, followed by 4.5 after being given Glucose and then droping out an hour later to 3.5.
For the past 2 weeks I have had a blood monitor, given to me by the Diabetic Nurse. My readings are always with in the normal range or very close, with the lowest ever being 4.5. My average over 2 weeks is 6.0.
However I am still experiancing, very bad headaches, which I was told was because the sugar goes to my brain! My vison is all over the place and I am very tired and fed up.
I think my blood sugar levels are good, so am not sure if this is normal?
Can anyone suggest anything? or has anyone had experiance of this. I don't even know if Hypoglycemia is Diabetes.....
Thanks in advance
Simon
