That is why, some conditions such as thyroid, have similar symptoms, in my case my response to certain food, caused a trigger for excess insulin (a hormone) release, which drives my blood glucose levels down into Hypoglycaemia.Tests are necessary to find what is happening and of course it is a diagnostic series of tests if your doctors suspect something that is an abnormal response.After I was going through all the tests, I realised that certain foods would cause certain symptoms and Sen I had stopped eating these foods, the symptoms lapsed, my health improved.One of the reasons why I had multiple hypos before diagnosis, was, I was told to have porridge for my breakfast, so every day, thinking that this so called healthy food was good for me. Whereas it was the start of a rollercoaster ride of high blood glucose and then low blood glucose levels and all the symptoms. So for me, if I hadn't had porridge and instead had back and egg, then I would have only had episodes of hypoglycaemia after I had eaten carbs or sugars, and include the hidden sugars and oils, included in manufactured or processed food, the likes of vegetable oils, palm oil, sweeteners and many others over time will impact on your health.Why do they it hold letters for wheat on baked products? Yes for gluten intolerance but also for the wheat itself!My history from childhood around food has been difficult. I was dairy (lactose) intolerant from young, my aversion to cooked vegetables, but I could eat the likes of carrot or spinach, salad vegetables all the time.  I was very picky, especially with seafood. I have had to adapt to a dietary balance that suited my tastes and hormonal response.Keep asking.But get in touch with your GP</blockquote>
