I was dizzy for a month. Then I went to the doctor and they check my blood sugar which is 56. The doctor told me to check the blood test. And everything seems to be fine. At first she told me I have reactive hypoglycemia. I was extremely hungry all the time. She advice me to eat high protein and high fiber in my diet. I was wondering do I still have reactive hypoglycemia, and why was the test shows that everything is normal. I'm really confuse. Sorry if I confused you with all this. Thanks for your help.

Hi! You still have low blood sugars (reactive hypoglycemia) and it's not fun. I've had it for many years and it makes you very irritable if you don't have food in your stomach, especially before breakfast. Your body has a problem with balancing insulin and glucose levels. Usually this happens in families with a history of diabetes. It is actually a precursor to type 2 diabetes when you get older. So your doctor is right by saying that you should eat lots of fiber and protiens because they will stablize your blood sugars for a longer period of time and refined sugars and starches will cause ups and downs that will make you feel dizzy and hungry. The best thing to do is eat 2 Tbls. of peanut butter every 2 hours and stay away from white flour, candy, soda pop etc. as much as possible. Peanuts are good, veges, lean meats, whole wheat bread, grains etc. will keep you healthy. Drink lots of water or you will get bloated and constipated. Good luck to you and if you work with this now and do the right things, you might not ever have diabetes. God Bless you sweetie!

Yes you still have hypoglycemia. This is when the blood sugar tends to drop extremely low. You may not have low blood sugar all the time which is why your blood test was fine the last time. Continue to check your blood sugars as often as the doctor recommended and eat 3 meals a day with a high protein snack mid morning, mid afternoon and before bed to help keep your blood sugar more level.

Hypoglycemics have to have smaller meals more often so your blood suger doesn't drop between meals and make you feel dizzy.
A meal could be a nutrition bar, if you are busy and do not have time to sit down and eat.
If you eat whole grain bread (which is high in fiber) instead of white bread which is basically valueless nutritionally ... and eat well balanced meals with leafy green veggies and fish (salmon is good), eggs (which R high in protein) and stuff like that, you should be okay.
I hope you drink a lot of water too.
Stay away from processed foods and carbs that are bad.

Your health is pretty much all that you have and being a diabetic, I advise you to seek at least a second medical opinion. It's a great thing that you're asking questions. Keep it up and hopefully the answers will come sooner rather than later.
Good luck!

that's basically a rely of time. Take it ordinary and be associates. She feels like she likes you. She could have waited on you to be polite, besides the undeniable fact that it feels like she likes you. do not sweat it. Get her some flowers after college and drop them at her door. Lay off the purpose stuff and attempt to be as non-stressful as conceivable.
