Hi. I have been having episodes of hypoglycaemia at random times, going as low as 2.1. I am not diabetic but have just had a prolonged OGGTT test, waiting for the results. I am not overweight but have put on 1 1/2 st in a few weeks, any ideas what could be going on. I must say, whilst I have these episodes, I feel very unwell, was admitted to hosp last week.
I feel extremely tired and everything is a struggle, I work full time and have a family, I manage but recently I'm feeling exhausted.
Have you skipped any meals? Please check out the DIABETES RESEARCH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION website. Go to:drwf.org.uk/diabetes-leaflets. Click on diabetes and illness/what is diabetes.
I hope this will help.
Hi. Thank you for your reply, I will take a look at the link. I eat normally, I have the episodes with no pattern, my bm goes high 2 hours after food, 9.9, and I feel awful. Yesterday I had breakfast and 1 1/2 after my bm was 3.4, felt nauseous. There seems no consistency.
Are you eating goji berries? I know you said you aren't diabetic, but I know that goji berries can LOWER BS AND CAN CAUSE LOWS/NEED GLUCAGON TO TREAT. NEVER EAT GOJI BERRIES IF YOU'RE TYPE 1 and are on INSULIN. Personal experience!
Hi, I'm definitely not eating any berries! I wasn't aware they could lower bm, interesting what you find out.
