Hi everyone!!
I'm new to this forum but it is just what I need.....to talk to people who know their stuff
I have been having trouble with my doctors, they are being very dismissive about the symptoms I have been experiencing. I am not diabetic, that has been established using blood tests at the doctors and doing my own at-home blood glucose testing.
I went to the doctors with diabetic symptoms, almost all of the main ones, very frequent urination, extreme fatigue, all of a sudden becoming weak and shaky and all of a sudden extreme hunger. If I happened to eat chocolate in the afternoon within 3 hours I would have an almighty headache. All of my symptoms seems to revolve around food.
My home blood glucose testing showed my postprandial level was lower than my preprandial level. I tested over 3 days and the results were the same. My fasting glucose in the morning was always fine.
After my doctor got my results from their glucose testing I was told my blood glucose was low but not in the dangerous zone. I have never had strips and my tester with me when I have had a hypo-like spell so I have not yet managed to get a reading when my symptoms are at their worst. My doctors have put my symptoms down to a Vitamin D deficiency.......
I have been paying closer attention to what I'm eating and how my body reacts. Always within 3 hours of eating I am incredibly fatigued and/or have hypo-like symptoms and have needed to pee 5-6 times.
My doctor is refusing to acknowledge the existence of Reactive Hypoglycemia. Does any of this sound like that may be what is going on? Anyone's help and advice would be so appreciated, feel like I'm getting nowhere with the doctors and it's starting to get in the way of my normal life now. Oh and I should probably mention I am a healthy weight for my height, I exercise regularly and eat a very good diet, I am definitely eating enough.
Thanks for reading
