Help Please?

Question

The last 2 friday's I have went out to eat and right after eating...

I start getting really cold (in a restraunt that is warm), dizzy(not drinking), face turned pale white!!

And hands turned white and ice cold, trembling, shaking, trouble speaking, and difficulty thinking clearly.

In the past I have become abnormally tired after eating but nothing like this before.
Not a food allergy either.

If you are a Doctor, Nurse, or anything of this nature please reply.

I do have a Doctor's appointment on Feb 5th, just wondering if anyone had any clue's.

I came home and checked my blood sugar it got back up to 60 and then I ate some peanut butter and it was 128, 30 minutes later. I feel inclined to believe this is hypoglycemia. Like I am eating or drinking something that has alot of sugar and It's going sky high and then bottoming out!!

Answer 1

Reactive hypoglycemia suspected.
Hypoglycemia unrelated to exogenous (of external origin) insulin therapy is an uncommon clinical syndrome characterized by low plasma glucose level, symptomatic sympathetic nervous system stimulation, and CNS dysfunction. Many drugs and disorders cause it. Diagnosis requires blood tests performed at the time of symptoms or during a 72-h fast. Treatment is provision of glucose combined with treatment of the underlying cause.
Consult your doctor.
Please see the web pages for more details on Reactive hypoglycemia.

Definitely your blood sugar level is low according to your reading of 60. Cinnamon is a glucose regulator. I'm sending along this story. Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes, and I hope it helps--

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. Everything on the above list has a use in fighting diabetes. If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, I suggest getting a copy of--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it.
My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which was first availale in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Answer 3

yup you are hypoglycemic

read down:

Hypoglycemic symptoms and manifestations can be divided into those produced by the counterregulatory hormones (adrenaline and glucagon) triggered by the falling glucose, and the neuroglycopenic effects produced by the reduced brain sugar.


[edit] Adrenergic manifestations
Shakiness, anxiety, nervousness, tremor
Palpitations, tachycardia
Sweating, feeling of warmth
Pallor, coldness, clamminess
Dilated pupils

[edit] Glucagon manifestations
Hunger, borborygmus
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort

[edit] Neuroglycopenic manifestations
Abnormal mentation, impaired judgement
Nonspecific dysphoria, anxiety, moodiness, depression, crying, fear of dying
Negativism, irritability, belligerence, combativeness, rage
Personality change, emotional lability
Fatigue, weakness, apathy, lethargy, daydreaming, sleep
Confusion, amnesia, dizziness, delirium
Staring, "glassy" look, blurred vision, double vision
Automatic behavior, also known as automatism
Difficulty speaking, slurred speech
Ataxia, incoordination, sometimes mistaken for "drunkenness"
Focal or general motor deficit, paralysis, hemiparesis
Paresthesias, headache
Stupor, coma, abnormal breathing
Generalized or focal seizures
Not all of the above manifestations occur in every case of hypoglycemia. There is no consistent order to the appearance of the symptoms. Specific manifestations vary by age and by severity of the hypoglycemia. In young children vomiting often accompanies morning hypoglycemia with ketosis. In older children and adults, moderately severe hypoglycemia can resemble mania, mental illness, drug intoxication, or drunkenness. In the elderly, hypoglycemia can produce focal stroke-like effects or a hard-to-define malaise. The symptoms of a single person do tend to be similar from episode to episode.

In newborns, hypoglycemia can produce irritability, jitters, myoclonic jerks, cyanosis, respiratory distress, apneic episodes, sweating, hypothermia, somnolence, hypotonia, refusal to feed, and seizures or "spells". Hypoglycemia can resemble asphyxia, hypocalcemia, sepsis, or heart failure.

In both young and old patients, the brain may habituate to low glucose levels, with a reduction of noticeable symptoms despite neuroglycopenic impairment. In insulin-dependent diabetic patients this phenomenon is termed hypoglycemia unawareness and is a significant clinical problem when improved glycemic control is attempted. Another aspect of this phenomenon occurs in type I glycogenosis, when chronic hypoglycemia before diagnosis may be better tolerated than acute hypoglycemia after treatment is underway.

Nearly always, hypoglycemia severe enough to cause seizures or unconsciousness can be reversed without obvious harm to the brain. Cases of death or permanent neurological damage occurring with a single episode have usually involved prolonged, untreated unconsciousness, interference with breathing, severe concurrent disease, or some other type of vulnerability. Nevertheless, brain damage or death has occasionally resulted from severe hypoglycemia.

Answer 4

It sounds serious.

Have you ever been tested for being ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS? Peanuts contain certain proteins that some people develop violent allergies to. This might be why some foods sold in stores have labels that say," manufactured using equipment that also processes peanuts," or words to that effect.

If you are open-minded to find a solution that works FOR YOU, you might want to take an online personalized health questionnaire that is FREE.

Should you choose to follow any of the recommendations, you will need my seven-digit ibo number (below).

In addition to this, since it sounds more urgent than waiting until Feb. 05th would be appropriate, my good friend and personal mentor just happens to be in the medical profession, and he would be glad to talk with you, any time of the day or night, I am sure, if you will e-mail me your contact information. He's located in Hanover, Pennsylvania. I have his home address and cell phone number.
