Pregnant Help for hypoglycemic woman ! Posted: 10-27-07 18:28pm
Hi I just wanted to say hello.
I'm new here and hypoglycemic.
Doctors don't seem to understand the help
that a hypoglycemic person needs. It
drives me crazy! I understand that they
didn't train for it in their schooling to
become doctors so they probably find it
hard to give the right advise on such
limited knowledge but grrr. naturalpaths
are very expensive!
All my life doctors have treated me like I
have fake symptoms or something and I was
just left to grow up through life never
knowing why I couldn't do what others
could and having no consentration through
school with numerous other problems I am
sure you all know about.
When I was 18 my doctor found out I had
hypoglycemia while checking something else
and all she told me to do was carry around
candy to take if I start feeling
hypoglycemic.
I have just recently started looking into
it online.
I find my mornings are way worse than my
evenings. Everyday really. I still after
all these years have not had one normal
morning without feeling something off.
Comes close though. Especially eating
close together seems to almost cure
completely.
BUT right now I am pregnant and need
help!!!
Every time I eat a meal. I become very
sleepy and heavy after, a bit dizzy and if
sleep doesn't happen then headache and off
balance a bit emotionally distressed to a
great degree because of the extream
tiredness. I have to sleep off what I just
ate for sugars to go normal again.

The one thing is.. the doctor should do a
GTT ... to see which way u are going.
I was told by my high risk OB that i
prolly will go the oposite way.. and my
sugar might go higher.
Do u have a glucose meter.. If ya do..
check your sugar when u first wake up
after a night of not eating. Then write
down what you eat for breakkie, and then
check it after an hour or two.. and see
what it is. make sure u write everything u
eat.. and your test results are. Then u
will have some stats to show the doctor.
Good luck and Congrats!!!!!!!!
Also, being hypoglycemic... you need to
eat differently.. (its not just keeping a
candybar on ya incase you have an issue--
I keep OJ on me.)
I would also ask to see a nutritionist.

You should not be eating candy, that is a
SERIOUS mistake and you'll find out in a
few years if you don't watch. Juice
should only be cut with equal water at
first and not used to get the level back
up. You should be eating nuts or cheese
when you feel hungry between meals.
