I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia (but not diabetes) about 2 years ago. I usually get the typical symptoms when my blood sugar starts to drop - shaking, dizziness, hunger, irritability. Lately, I've been getting sick after eating dinner (nausea, stomachache, a washed out feeling) for about an hour, then I feel terrific. It doesn't happen at lunch or at my 10:00 pm snack. Are these normal symptoms of hypoglycemia? Also, my sugar starts to drop in the middle of the night, which it never did before. About 2 weeks ago, a friend and I had a major fight, which of course caused a lot of stress. Is it possible that this is responsible for my sugar being out of whack? Usually, when I'm having a spell, my sugar runs about 40, and my normal reading is around 70. My dr. didn't give me a diet to follow or anything, she just told me to always carry glucose tablets. Any advice on how to manage this better will be appreciated. Thanks.
