[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1054795, member: 85785"] Unfortunately, no one is the same in their symptoms, but if I had to guess, it seems as though you are describing a drop in blood glucose levels. This in itself is not harmful or really bad in the scheme of things but just makes you feel that way. You will have to get a meter to find out what is going on. The other alternative if you know your hba1c or last test numbers is to pop along to a chemist that does glucose monitor tests for you. I would do a fasting one. if you feel really bad, then take some glucose to make you feel better. This is the part that is important to a diabetic. How do you know which foods affect your blood glucose levels? How can you plan your next few months without knowing if your blood glucose levels are going up or down? You need a meter to monitor and test to find this out, keep a food diary, show your GP, and he might put them on prescription for you. If you are serious about being in control, then as I say he should help you. Sorry that you are looking for a definitive answer, I can only guess!
