Low sugar

Hi all .
Bye chance last month i discovered i had low blood sugar levels, this was because my friend had been told she diabetis & she came round mine & had to check her blood as she felt it was low & hers was 5 so as you do she said to me lets see what your is & mine was 2! she was stunned & told me to eat some chocolate!.
She told me that normal was 5-8 and that 2 is really low & i should get it checked out. But i didnt as i didnt really think to much off it.....so then last week my next door neighbour ( who also id diabetic) checked my blood again after i had just finshed my can of coke to show me how my blood would be normal to his surprise my blood was 4.4 so when i exspained that it had been done before and read level2 he said thats not possible & id bee dead!
So off i went to the doctors but ended up with a nurse who told me i was eating to much sugar & to stop eating for 2 weeks then come back for some tests.

Now my eating habbit are a bit odd as i do drink coke & eat alot of choc in between meals as I feel ill , shakey my hands & feet turn blue and the only way i feel better is to drink coke or eat choc to keep me going to my next meal! my main meals are very healthy .... salad, sandwiches veg fruit .... you name it i eat it! But it just dont seemto keep me going!
I only weight 8 stone 6 lbs & i eat constantly or i feel horrible!
At night i wake up sweating with my heart racing & shaking like a freek then head striaght for the coke to make it go away!
BUt im really worried as the nurse has told me NO SUGAR and i cant make any sence off it! im on day 2 withno sugar & feel horrid! im shaky i keep dropping stuff & my feet are blue & cold even thou my top half is sweaty & hot! cant get into my doctors till 16th june so im stuck feeling crap!
I dont understand why if my sugar is low then i cant raise it eating sugar as normal food dont seem to keep it up!
Thanks K

 

Sorry to hear about that. Don't sound to good. What does your doc think. A nurse couldn't help because you ate sum choc?

 

I cant get in to my doctors till 16th june!!!!! The nurse just said stop all sugar like coke & sweets , choc then we will see! I no im not diabetic as im the opposit off that maybe a mke to much insalin?! I really dont no..............I got the feeling that because i used my friend machine and found it out myself that she isnt taking me seriously!
I am a little worried as i now have to drive to get my kis from school but my friend said its illegal to drive in the uk with a blood sugar level below 5 and mine at its highest is only ever 4.7! my friend said you can get done if they find out your sugar is below that & you have been told not to drive but the nurse hasnt even said anything about driving to me!

 

what you need to eat is just not sugar like coke and candy , they dont stay in your system very long try eating more pasta and taters, bread, these carbs will be turned into sugar by your system and stick with you longer.as a diabetic my self i have learned these are the things they run my sugar to high and hold them there longer then just plain sugar.

 

That don't seem right. You don't have access to a different doc? What did webmd say?

 

Did you tell the nurse that you needed the sugar to feel "normal?" If not, go back and tell them what's going on before something bad happens.

 

ive called them now so they will call me back im hoping the thing is i do eqat pasta all the time as its one of my fave foods! i eat with the coke and sugar2 good food meals a day!

 

how is your eye site do you have clear vision or a beveled edge feeling before you eat sugar? if it takes sugar or candy to feel better and not have the shakes then you better eat it as you feel the need to because if it drops to low you can end up in a coma from it.

 

You need to get to a doctor now, not June 16th.

As stated earlier, you need to stop eating sugar and start eating smaller meals more often.

 

Im hypoglycemic which means I have low blood sugar, its not the same as diabetes. I get all shaky and sick if it drops to low,and I have to have something with sugar in it to fell better a lot like you described. But you definitively need to see a doctor to find out what exactly is wrong
