Do you have a glucose meter to actually check how high your levels are at these times?, otherwise it matters not what you say to your GP, they will try and brush you off based on your suppositions. If you can get hold of one then the best thing to do is check your levels before eating and then 2 hours after. You can check in between too, ie first thing in the morning. By producing data it puts you in a much stronger position when trying to tell the GP that your symptoms actually match your glucose levels. Also, what is a typical days diet for you?, do you feel the symptoms after a high carb meal etc? Also it could be something else entirely. As for your job, that can be quite tricky but at this stage I would get them to 'register' you as having a disability under the Disability Act (in the UK) as that way you will have extra protection if any future sickness can be put down to your disability.</p></blockquote><p></p>
