It's almost always when I'm hungry. And
I'm not on a diet or something, or
starving myself for days, else I wouldn't
ask this question. As far as I noticed the
3 factors that affect it the most are:
-not getting atleast 6 hours of sleep
-not going to the toilet as soon as you
have to defecate
-skipping a meal
All of this combined is usually the worst,
but skipping a meal is the biggest factor.
But this happens if I skip just one meal.
For example, if I had a good breakfast in
the morning, but skipped 3pm launch, by
6-7pm I would be experiencing a mild
fever. My temperature would raise (not
that much like when I am sick but still
higher than usual.) and I would be weak
physically like I am about to faint
(although that never happened).
Also, I don't know if it matters but I
must say that I am working out in a gym
last 3 months, but this started happening
maybe a year ago (the same time my
appetite suddenly increased and I started
gaining weight, which is good since I was
really skinny for my height. I am 1.95m
tall and have 93kgs currently (was atleast
80))
This "fever" (if it is fever at all)
usually passes as soon as I eat something,
but last two times lasted even after that
(maybe 15 minutes) so that is a reason why
I'm writing this.
p.s -about a nickname: No, I'm not doing
any drugs or did them in the past (or use
any weight gain supplements for my gym,
the increased appetite just popped out of
nowhere) it's just a name of a song. I
have no reason to lie since this is
annonymous. I also don't smoke, but do
drink, usually only during weekends. I had
a sort of history of losing conciousness
when I was young (epilepsy, but a mild
one) but that was caused by a sudden pain
shock, or staying too long in the hot sun.
But it hasn't happened in like 10 years,
because it was treated.

Do you actually take your temperature to
determine you ahve a mild fever or do you
just feel lik you have a mild fever?
Sounds a little like your sugars of off
some and you should get that checked out.

Well I apologize because English is not my
mother language, so I'm not sure if it's
called fever at all.
But as I said the symptoms are: increased
temperature and overall body weakness.
p.s When you mentioned sugar, did you mean
that I could have diabetes?
That is kinda weird since I used to love
all the sweet things (candies, cakes,
sweets etc) when i was younger, but
stopped having an appetite for them maybe
2-3 years ago.
But when googled about diabetes it says
"Disorder characterized by increased
drinking and urination" but I have
increased eating...not drinking, and no
increased urination what so ever.
When I get an episode usually when I don't
eat I feel ill, and hot much of the same
symptoms. My body temperature doesn't
actually go up but it sure feels like it
does. I get shaky and sick to my stomach.
Same things sometimes happen with the not
sleeping or defecating for whatever reason
too exactly when I need to. Not everytime
but a lot of the times. I'll feel weak and
I have fainted on occassion.
It sounds like though you actually have
taken your temperature (with a
thermometer) and that is how you know your
body temp is up.
Sweets aren't the only things with lots of
sugar in them, carbohydrates like breads,
rice, noodles ect... will cause your
sugars to fluxuate too.
Personally I would go to the doctor and in
the meantime I would increase my proteins
those help and most diabetics and
hypoglycemics need protein most of all.
Nuts are a good source of proteins.
It is okay about your language I am pretty
sure I'm understanding you completely no
need to apologize.

Much thanks for quick reply and helpful
information.
To be honest, I haven't taken my
temperature with a thermometer since it
was a feeling of higher temperature, but
not too high to take it seriously like I'm
sick, since it would pass as soon as I eat
something. I will take it as soon as I
have symptoms again.
I read the whole article you gave me. In
case I am hypoglycemic too, i have just
two more questions:
1) Is it something that anyone can develop
or was I hypoglycemic from my birth but
started showing symptoms just now?
2) Can it be cured completely or will I
have to worry about this for the rest of
my life? Not that I am scared or anything,
am completely calm, and I know all of
these questions will be answered by a
doctor but it's just something I need to
know to be ready for anything he/she can
say to me...
Thanks again,
Dextazy

I have an increased temperature right now,
and I measured it and it is nothing above
normal, so I guess you're right.
Also, I am a bit confused: Some sources on
the net say I SHOULD eat sugar, candies,
cookies as soon as I feel bad, while some
strongly say I shouldn't and that it makes
it only worse.

I'm not entirely sure about your quesitons
but I will do my best.
1) I believe anyone can develop it but I
think a lot of people have heredity of
diabetes or hypoglycemia
2) I don't think it can be "cured" but it
is very manageable and not like diabetes
in the way that it would affect your life
that way but it can turn into diabetes if
you don't take care of yourself.
As for the sweets thing, an attack can
help boost your sugar (as when you are
feeling sick it is because the sugar gets
too low) but remember that sugar in sweets
tends to come crashing down as quickly as
it makes you feel better too and you end
up sick again if you don't eat something
else to counteract it. I suggest orange
juice also lots and lots of protein in
your diet. Peanut butter crackers are good
to have on hand too as peanut butter
contains small amounts of sugar and lots
of protein. Don't skip any meals is a good
thing to live by no matter what yoru
circumstances but especially so if you are
hypogylcemic.
Did what you read make sense on what you
are experiencing? I hope this was of some
help. Overall it is the BEST to make a
doctors appointment there is a blood test
they can do along with you fasting to
determine your sugar levels.
