[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1385142, member: 88961"] For many people, seemingly unrelated hormones really do get into the mix with blood sugar levels, and/or general wellbeing. Many folks on the forum to comment how things can go a bit wonky at certain stages of their cycle. To be honest, in your shoes, I would be acquiring a blood testing meter to actually assess what's going on in your body when you feel these lows. The sorts of symptoms you have could be so many things; stress, blood pressure, blood glucose issues are just off the top of my head.. Consuming sugar may "sort it", just by stopping what you were doing at the time and sitting still-ish for a few minutes. I would also be keeping a diary of when these symptoms occur, along with where you are in your menstrual cycle at the time. Armed with that information, you may be able to have a different conversation with your doctor, should the symptoms continue. You never know, you may be able to work it out for yourself if it's something like, leading up to exams and haven't eaten much all day due to being in the library, or whatever. You really do need to gather data. Going to the Doc saying you feel off, but feel better once you've snaffled some delicious sweetness doesn't really give him a massive amount to go on. I hope things get clearer for you. [/QUOTE]
