Salutations everyone!
I am 22 and from London. I recently went to my GP to get the results for my blood test, the results were.. no diabetes. He said I am perfectly healthy. (my blood sugar levels after starvation test were a normal 4.5) I was absolutely stunned by these results, and I am pretty sure I am hypoglycemic, but he kept saying I am fine, and looks at me like I am a hypochondriac. I have struggled with my sugar addiction for as long as I can remember, I remember being 7 at my cousin's house, BEGGING my aunt for a fourth jaffa cake, she was stern with health, but felt so bad for me that she gave in. A lot of people used to give sympathy because I would stress how I felt like I 'needed' the sugar, or more than other children to get a better fix.
My symptoms have been:
* Sides of hands itching after eating sugar. Past two months, most times I eat it, the skin itches 'down there'.
* 20 minutes after eating sugar a urination that is longer and faster than usual.
* I have developed a kind of respiratory problem where I get breathless extremely easily.
* I have tried sugar quitting programs but fruit is not enough and I feel ill.
I also found out last year that I have a severe gluten intolerance, as a child my blood never came up as caeliac but turns out I shouldn't really have been eating the stuff.
I read that Hypoglycemia can not be detected in a test, only under extreme levels. Does anybody have any advice for me?
