I haven't been to a doctor yet, but am thinking I probably should soon. I've had some mild episodes lately where I feel literally a "drop" of energy, feel VERY uncomfortable (esp. driving!!), & usually if I haven't eaten enough (ie, 4+ hours), drank too much caffeine or alcohol, etc. I notice I feel better (obviously) if I cut out caffeine & alcohol, but still feel a low sometimes from lack of food, which I usually haven't a problem with before. But I also have bad eating habits, & really need to change this, such as eating big meals & not enough small ones, & the foods I eat (& don't eat enough of)... it looks I can't get away with this anymore. So my questions are can you be hypoglycemic without being a diabetic, or could I be diabetic? I know my grandma was diabetic, so there is some family history. I know the best answer is to see a doctor, but I'm curious as to what kind of doctor, what to tell them about symptoms I've been having, & what to expect. Thanks!
