Hi.

Need some more information.

How overweight are you? What exactly are your fasting numbers when you get up in the morning? This is important. It gives us the information so we can pass on whatever we have learned to you.

I gather you are NOT on any diabetic meds right now, right?

What meds are you on.

Hypoglycemia means you had low blood sugar. Diabetes, well, that means a whole bunch of stuff. Your pancreas is not working correctly.

You might have highs. You might have lows.

You did the 6 hour test right? Do you have the numbers??

And how is your diet?

This is important.

And the doctor was correct. If you are overweight, you need to lose the weight and eat low-carb and some protein with each meal. Cut out any refined sugars.

See how this affects the blood sugar readings.

And always carry some of those glucose tablets in your purse. When low blood sugar hits, it can knock you off of your feet.

Sometimes all it takes is 6 jellybeans and you're right as rain.

Have you ever had any episodes of light headedness, or weak at the knees.

Sorry to ask so many questions, but diabetes IS serious stuff.

Let us know when you have a moment, okay?

Others will hope on board eventually and help you out further.

Melody
