I am very fit and exercise 5 days a week. ive been tested for diabetes a few times always coming up negative. i can go months without a hypo or have 3 in a week. my thinking is i need to eat more frequently? whilst my diet is 90% healthy im the first to admit that if im busy i can and do go all day without eating because im genuinely not hungry, then stuff down a man size meal in the evening. what confuses me though is that i can do this say 100 times but only one time my blood sugar will drop so low that im left sweating, shaking, confused etc. i have naturally low blood pressure too, right at bottom of 'normal' range if not slightly below and now and again for reasons unknown this will drop and i will pass out. i wonder if theres any relationship? though the 2 concerns have never happened at same time. i recognise the feeling for both now and if its b.p. i lay down and put my legs up and am fine within 5 mins, if its blood sugar i eat whatever is available wherever i am at the time and it takes longer but am okay again within the hour. whilst doc has done relevant tests i never receive any further advice once the tests show negative. would like to know if there are reasons so i can tackle them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
