Non-diabetic hypoglycemic attacks

[9amTrain]

My blood sugar is always normal when tested apparently.

However, for a long time I have suffered from what feels like low blood sugar attacks that come on in seconds, whether I've eaten or not, and I have to sleep it off and eat a lot of really sugary junk at once to stop feeling floppy, weak and shaky. And then I feel sick because of what I've had to eat...

Like this past week and right now, I've been feeling really lethargic, weak and shaky and ate a decent Sunday dinner with a pile of berries and fruit for afterwards and I still feel like my blood sugar is really low (assuming that's what it is)... it's been over an hour. I'm lying in bed feeling like shit.

Other bloods normal.

I don't know what the problem is and every GP I see when I mention it doesn't care.

Any ideas?

It is possible to have non Diabetic hypos. Often occur about 1-2 hours after eating carbohydrates. Or it is related to a condition called Gastric Dumping Syndrome which most commonly happens after barriatric surgery like gastric band. The way to treat a hypo is a small glass of orange juice or 3-4 glucose tablets followed by carbohydrate snack ie 2 slices toast, packet mini cheddars. It can take 1/2 hr or so for this to work meanwhile you will still crave more but don't have more or you will feel very sick. The way to prove these hypos is to buy a testing machine & test each time this happens & 1/2 hr after treating. I can tell you all this as a sufferer of this phenomenon myself, a nurse, mum of type 1 Diabetic & wife of type 1 Diabetic. Hope this helps.
