Why does my blood sugar keep dropping?

I am now more convinced than ever that what happened the other day was a hypoglycemic attack. I had the same thing happen this morning but I was able to get some orange juice in time. (It took about three small glasses at 5-10min intervals before I felt better.)

I don't understand why this keeps happening so often now. I'm going to stock up on glucose tablets, and other things to keep handy.

Any idea if Lyme, Bart, or Babs can cause this? Or is it possibly due to adrenal insufficiency?

Hi pmm73 -

Well, that's a pretty good development. As I was reading through your thread from the other day someone else mentioned a hypoglycemic episode and I think it all sounds pretty accurate. I used to have hypoglycemic episodes.

I think you should get to an MD or ND and review the episodes with them and maybe get some more specific testing done - you don't want to start popping glucose pills and manage frequent episodes without having a good handle on what is going on. Blood sugar imbalances can lead to other issues.

Have you had any other changes in treatment? illness? detoxing? diet?

Yes, these can be caused by health system dysfunction that can be common w/ Lyme & Co but that doesn't mean you have to tolerate the episodes and again, you don't want the episodes to grow out of control.

Please try to get into see someone soon and also please let us know how things are going and what the MD says.
