I haven't had a test but KNOW I have low blood sugar with all the symptoms to the point of fainting. Anytime I exercise too much, eat to little or wait to long too long to eat it starts; the shaking, anxiety and persistant headache that sticks with me. I have had this reaction for years.

I have PCOS possibly LOCAH because of the adrenal source of my hormone excess DHEA. I do not have IR. I am 5'3 and 113 lbs. I eat well with very little sugar or simple carbs.

I don't get it why I have persistant low blood sugar? I thought with PCOS we are supposed to have high blood sugar?

I have LBS symptoms occasionally like the shakes/anxiety/extreme hunger/faintness. It goes away after I eat. It might be a sign of pre-diabetes but I'm no doc .

I think PCOS is more of a problem with your body processing the insulin versus having too much.

I've experienced low blood sugar/hypoglycemia for quite a while now. Usually it was just getting really cranky if I went too long without eating. After I started Met it got worse with the lightheadedness and headaches.

I'm no doctor, but you may need to reevaluate your carb intake, especially if your a workout a lot. Your body really needs carbs for exercise. Just try to have some protein with it. I've found that if I do that I really do feel great all day. None of the lightheadedness. I eat about 5 or 6 mini meals a day....Breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack between each and if I had a really light dinner (like salad) a protein shake before bed. My main problem was hypoglycemia when I wake up in the morning, so the shakes work like a charm.

I think if you introduce more good carbs you'll feel much better, just don't forget the protein. Take a look at Jillian Michaels new book. I found it very informative...she even talks a little about PCOS.

good luck!
