[QUOTE="kiwi gal, post: 1859121, member: 474498"] Yes that makes sense and from what I have read online also, this could very well be what is happening to me also. I have glucose monitor but the lowest I have managed to capture is 4.1. Yeah, I was totally peeved by the endo comments, he actually gave me a referral to a psychiatrist! It was a big let down as I honestly thought he would be able to find out what is going on with the whole BG thing. It took me ages to get an appointment to see him as a private patient, and he is actually a professor and also head of the medical programme at the biggest university here. I can buy a Freestyle Libre here, pretty expensive but would be worth it to see what is going on and as you say, then I will hopefully have some evidence to take to GP. Over the past year I have been several times to my GP clinic and seen 4 different Dr's there to try and get some help. All trying to tell me it's in my head, one saying I should consider hormone replacement therapy, other saying I am getting the symptoms because I am thinking about them, and all of them pushing for me to go on anti anxiety meds! I think I read on one of your posts that it is in the morning s that you have problems with your insulin? The mornings are the worst time for me and when I am most likely to get the symptoms of low BG, after lunch I am feeling much better. I can be hungry afternoon or evening but not get the low BG symptoms its just weird and I cannot make sense of it! In the morning I have very little energy and have to be careful what I do as even just going up and down stairs will set my symptoms off. It feels like my body is not making use of glucose even though I have eaten, or not getting to the cells to provide energy or something like that. I think there is some type of genetic component to this as my niece is very similar to me and I worry of her. We are both small boned and look similar,any weight is gained around hips, both have problems with iron levels (anaemic many times with no apparent reason), both had/have difficulty conceiving a pregnancy and miscarriages. she has BG problems too but she actually passes out, but still Drs say there is nothing wrong her BG! thanks for your reply!
