sue1234 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I guess this poll will get us started on understanding the "why" so many of us have either outright hypoglycemia(via testing) or symptoms that need to be tested. Thanks everyone for answering!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashelton80 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have had very severe syptoms of hypoglycemia. It has never shown up in a random blood sugar draw though. I just think it's the whole hormonal system breakdown that occurs with this type of condition. I have been able to control mine with cutting out grains and sugars. Heavy protein and good fats.

ChiariMSwithPOTS Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Didn't have an option of saying High Blood Sugar at the 1 (218) and 2 (211) hour mark and then later crashing to 64. Probably now they know why, because of the gastroparesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Any other people with blood sugar issues? Just bumping up in case some one new has overlooked it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yes, blood sugar issues. Insulin resistance problems. Your body doesn't take the insulin into the cells properly. As a youngster - 12 years old I've had severe hypoglycemia as an adult it swings - not real high but higher than what is now considered normal. Depending on what I eat - makes the difference of what happens with it. I'm now on a new diet - no sugar, milk or glutten. I'm feeling a lot better. Also, have lowered the salt down and even though I think I'm still not uptaking fluids correctly - I do feel better. My kidneys don't seem to hurt as bad and my energy is getting better. Since finding out that autoimmune issues do play a part in me - this diet should help that considerably. I'm starting to lose weight too. Which is a big plus.

sue1234 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Bumping again, as I saw new posters talking about blood glucose on another thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nela Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I was found to have lots of fluctuations in my glucose levels. I mostly have lows though and they dip really quite low. I was lucky enough for my doctor to catch them with a random glucose metre test but my actual blood tests always came out normal. My doctor decided not to treat it but I have had to change my eating habits. Everything is much more stable now that I am no longer working.

Schorobi Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Went in to get my lytes checked on florinef and my random glucose was 46, but no symptoms. When I have felt really sick from POTS, ( autonomic storm type symptoms) my glucose is always 200's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Schorobi- Are you diabetic?? Glucose in the 200s. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've had symptoms of blood sugar drops for years but tests show normal. It's a recognised part of having ME/CFS and I am to believe it is a feature of blood pressure changes and may mean fluid is needed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
