Hi!
I have been dx with PCOS for a lon time. I have been on a diet and exercise regimen. My weight is 59kgs (120 pounds) and I'm 5'2" tall. I am hypothyroid and take medication for it.
Now my problem is everyday in the morning I drink a cup of tea, finish potty and in 1/2 hr I have this bad feeling .. my tongue is heavy, very thirsty .. energy levels drop rapidly and have difficulty thinking properly .. I guess i'm having low blood sugar .. my fasting level is 75. Is this a common problem .. how do I deal with this .. Even if I eat something sugary the feeling dosen't subside .. this routine repeats at 4:00 pm. I have been taking metformin .. but not regularly .. what should I do?

any inputs would be of great help

thanks
jay

Try eating something with protein within an hour of waking up, and then having your tea or drink your tea with the meal. Some quick ideas would be an egg or two with toast, a small omelette, some cottage cheese, etc.

Eating something sugary works well for diabetics with very low blood sugar, but it can cause your blood sugar and insulin to spike very high and then drop down very low, so you eat again, and it repeats... Try eating small meals with protein several times a day... that helps me keep my BS fairly even.
