Hypoglycemia

JenniferV · 05-01-2002, 02:22 AM

I was recently diagnosed with IR and hypoglycemia. I know hypoglycemia is connected with diabetes and I was wondering if anyone else has this. I'm trying to read as much as I can to understand it more but I would greatly appreciate anyones else's input or experiences.

Thanks,
Jennifer

i do have "attacks" where i get all shaky and weak. My RE does not seem to think it is connected to my METFORMIN but i have not had an attack since going off METFORMIN one week ago..

After having a lot of problems with low blood levels, A test called here in mexico, glicemia curve, was done on me several years ago, and it showed I process to fast the sugar, and that it drops real fast. They done a sugar blood test on me early in the morning, when I hadn't eaten anything, and then they have me a very sweet organg drink, it has 275 grams of sugar, and they tested me 3 times, each after an hour term. This means MY FIRST TEST WAS AT 7:00 a:m: the following

I have hypoglycemia. Six years ago, here in Mexico, I was blood tested 4 times in the morning, the first time without eating anything, right away they gave me a very sweet orange drink, and one hour later I was tested again, then an hour later again, they finally an hour later I was tested for the last time. The test showed I process sugar too fast. The glicemia curve went down with a strong inclination. I was told I had hypoglycemia. I was suggested to stay away from sugar, cause this could turn into hyperglycemia. I also suffer from PCOS. I was diagnosed 7 years ago.
