I keep having what i believe are hypo's. I feel very shaky and weak, sweating palms, heart rate speeds up, confused, and like i am going to collapse. Usually if i have a sugary drink or a chocolate bar i start to feel a little bit better after 10 minutes or so. But recently this is not working so well. I have had 2 blood tests in the past that have shown i am not diabetic and am currently awaiting the results of a 3rd blood test. I am morbidly obese. Is it possible to still be diabetic even if fasting blood tests are saying i am not? Are there other tests that can be done? Please help.
 
Hi fluffyjo

Welcome to the forum

anyone , diabetic or not can suffer from low blood sugar, if for example, you haven't eaten for a while.

Best bet is to see gp when the results of the latest test is back.

Hi fluffyjo, :)

Your doctor should have given you some indication what is causing these problems, or at least referred you to have a oral glucose tolerance test.

I would return to the GP and let them know that you are very concerned and the stress is not helping.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Roy. :)
