I really have not been diagnosed with
hypoglycemia yet. I had a blood test at
the docs office and everything was fine
(fasting test in the morning). But, he
said to get a glucose monitor and use it
when I had symptoms. I did and my
glucose was down to 45. It does go away
on its own with or without eating
something. I get sweaty, blurred vision,
shaky, strange feeling, etc. I've got
other medical problems like elevated pth,
calcium, and low bun along with some other
ones that I don't remember. I have severe
pain in my chest/back. This has been
going on for 2.5 years now and I need
help. What do I have? Does hypoglycemia
have any corolation to these other things?
Kidney stones, osteoporosis, pain?

Yep, pretty much all of that sounds like
classic hypoglycemia. Calcium imbalances
are common. Have you tried messing with
your diet to see what happens?

No, I have not tried changing my diet.
I see a lot of info on here on diets. I
will search and find out what to do.
Thanks for the reply

Okay, keep in mind that you don't have to
follow all suggestions. You may be okay
with whole grains depending on the
severity of your condition.

"it does go away on its own with or
without eating something."
i get the same thing, if I leave my
symptoms long enough, eventually, they'll
go away on their own, even if I don't eat,
but how does that work?
I thought that once your symptoms started,
that they would progressively get worse
and worse, as your blood sugar would keep
falling and falling?
So what happens there? Does it jump back
up once it falls below a certain level or
something?

Yeah, i've had that happen too, there are
a few possibilities.
1. The body will eventually adjust the
level slowly and it will go away, simply
because it has enough energy stored up to
restore the balance. Over time, though,
if you keep eating bad it will
progressively lose the energy it needs to
restore it and you'll take a long time to
get better, maybe even days.
2. Whatever you ate may have caused a
sharp drop, but may have also contained
enough carbohydrates to restore the level
a bit at the same time that it dropped it.
The drop may have happened, but you
can't forget the fact that there are carbs
there, regardless of how bad they may have
been. Of course, as I said in number
one, the same issue applies over time.
3. Your regulating mechanisms may not be
entirely messed yet.
4. Your hypoglyemia may not be as severe
as other cases (thus you may be able to
handle grains).
5. It may simply be a coincidence and a
sign of bad things coming. The restoring
of the level may simply mean something is
wrong, but it's not that bad yet.

Thanks again stan. I never realised
hypoglycemia could be so complicated or
that there could be so many reasons for
certain symptoms.
