Hi,
I just found this site...I've actually
been concerned that I might have diabetes,
but after looking at this site I am
questioning whether or not I might be
hypogleycemic. I have a hard time
figuring out what to eat for breakfast.
Recently, I've been sticking to eggs b/c
that's the only thing that doesn't make me
feel terrible after eating them. Even if
I eat eggs _ i will feel shaky about two
hours later. I recently had oatmeal and
felt really bad for awhile after, the same
with cereal and toast. I also have not
been able to eat sugar (ice cream, candy,
etc.) for a number of years without
feeling lousy. Right now, I'm very
concerned...I don't have a doctors appt.
until December (health insurance issues).
I really feel that what I eat (or cannot)
eat is starting to run my life...I also
feel afraid to eat certain things. I can
usually eat carbs after breakfast and be
totally fine. I'm 28, thin and exercise
pretty often. My mother has hypoglycemia
(but I've been told that that's not
hereditary). I don't have a family
history of diabetes.

If it was diabetes the symptoms would be
different and you'd actually be
craving/eating a lot of sugary foods. It
is, in fact, genetic, usually passed on
every other generation, but if your mother
had it there's a high chance.

I am pretty sure that my mother has
hypoglycemia but, try telling her that!
hhaha..
She'll be standing there with her hand
completly shaking taking a bite of
something and has the nervousnessness to
boot also mixed with vision blocks when
she eats something too sweet at the wrong
time.
I have it and my grandma I think had
hypoglycemia too but she also had
something where her white blood cells
started taking over her red blood cells
and she passed away at 54. this makes me
wonder if hypoglycemics have a slightly
higher white blood cell count. I too was
found to have a high count right after my
baby was born and they told me to inform
my doc but I forgot to tell him that...
I do think insulin problem are
hereditary.
You do sound hypoglycemic.
