Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) Support Group
The term hypoglycemia literally means "low blood sugar." Hypoglycemia can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the brain, resulting in impairment of function. Derangements of function can range from vaguely "feeling bad" to coma and in the worst case, can be fatal.
Hello,
I am new to this group. I have been feeling bad for a few months now. I have been shaky, weak, fast heart beat, extreme anxiety/panic, brain fog, dizziness, and also diarrhea and weight loss. This is pretty constant although it does get better and worse through out the day. I had labs done and all seems fine except my glucose was low at 58 and had just eaten a full meal 1 hour before testing. Could these problems be hypoglycemia, I have had minor problems with low sugar in the past but never felt like this. I eat several small meals a day, I avoid sugar due to my candida problem, I am a vegetarian. If it is a hypo problem what more can I do to treat this problem?
I normally have a lot of health conditions that I treat or in remission such as Graves Disease (in remission) anemia that I treat, anxiety/panic (never to this degree) eye pain, chemical sensitivity and candida.

It could be. Have you a blood sugar test kit?
If so take it in the morning, then just before you eat and a half hour after and every 30 min for the next 3 hrs. Watch the curve. It should start around 80-90, go up to about 150 or so and back down to 80-90 slowly within 3 hrs. (not all numbers exact, just a trend like those numbers)
If it drops faster, like for example, mine will go from 80 to 150 to 60 in an hour, that could be post prandial hypo. If you wake up with it low and it just keeps getting lower if you don't eat, that could be regular hypo.
Wondering... have you had food sensitivity testing?
Your symptoms are the same as mine were when I was eating grains and nightshades...both as it turns out I am sensitive to....
Foolishly, I started walking every day about 45 minutes for 45 minutes, I was caught by hypoglycemia. Sugar dropped at night .but not really hypo value. Probably dropped very quickly.
From then I am constantly feeling, body shaking, though sugar is not low any more.
But last 15 days, I am constantly shaking and shaking. But became high at the same previous value of humalog and levemir.
Now sugar is coming around 7 and 8 ranges whole day but I am constantly shaking. for last 15 days
How can remove this shaking, can any body help me?
