Type 1 Feel like I'm having a constant hypo

Snapsy said:
Ooooh, you've just reminded me of the Sterimar seawater nasal spray - same principle - going to dig it out if it's still in date - had forgotten all about it! Thanks!

that is something i use when sinuses get bad ( fairly often )
 

Well my ears have been popping too! I know they're all connected so hoping if it is this the hypo type feeling will go.
I just didn't know if it was normal to get that feeling without the hypo for so long. But sounds like it may be my sinus/ears causing me the problems!
Thanks for all the advice
 
You say that have had a broken nose @Tanny35.
It may be that you have a deviated septum.
Could even be a nasal polyp growing in the sinus passage.
Anything that limits the amount of air you are able to breathe in needs to be investigated.
 

Hope u feel better soon. X
 
I get this too, for me there are 2 reasons. First is not enough food, if I eat something (even like 1g of carbs) it improves. Second is low blood pressure.
 
Soak q tips in hydrogen peroxide. Wait for bubbling to stop. Do this 3 x. Day. Amazing
 
Might be completely unhelpful or unrelated but just incase it helps anyone, I felt hypo all the time (I was rarely low when I tested) and fainted a lot for a few months before my dn suggested I tried cutting out gluten. It's made a huge difference to me in lots of ways do if nothing else helps it may be worth considering. Hope you feel better soon regardless. Xx
 
Gluten surely doesn't help sinuses either. Not for all but certainly for some. Worth a shot. I haven't eaten it in YEARS
 

Thank you. I got in to docs tomorrow so will hopefully get sorted. X
 
After a stressful year my reactive hypoglycemia / false hypos became extreme & sent me down the diabetes path. Already Paleo, going VLCHF & morning fasting got my BSL stabilized until I realized the dawn phenomena was the reaction to fasting stress.
Leg cramps, tight chest & obsessive thoughts upon awakening led me to challenge why cortisol was dumping glycogen from the liver then insulin from the pancreas in a continuous BS battle.
Magnesium [low, with zinc in blood analysis] provided instant relief but very hard to assimilate enough over a long period.
I had presented typical symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue.
Well may LCHF or Keto be denigrated as fad diets. But with all the current bias directed at the obesity / diabetes epidemic it is very hard to filter out a normal diet as a life long skinny living on sugar. Some carbs are necessary to moderate the livers glycogen reserves & preserve adrenal function.
Lots of green leafy vegetables are good but we also need some carbs to provide the prebiotic fibre for a healthy varied gut biome.
I adapted a more frequent, small meal plan. Protein itself, when keto adapted is enough to sugar spike with gluconeogenesis [not glycogenisis]. Kale eggnog or spinach frittata, liver or sardines if I am working. Always preceded by Apple Cider Vinegar & lime juice.
 

I've felt just like that and after a course of antibiotics and steam inhalation my sense of who I was and where I was came back. It was sinusitis for me, and infections make my blood sugars erratic as well! Good luck!.
 

Hi, I'm new to the forum so excuse me if I missed an update to this. Did you ever find out what it was? I have the exact same thing happening to me and I also have sinus and ear trouble. I feel hypo symptoms all day long, find myself going into "stare mode / blurry" can't concentrate and I feel generally off balance and not right. A lot of what is being said in this thread resonates and just wondering if you have any advice from your outcome? Thank for any help
