I think I'm hypoglycemic!

Kalsedony · 10-02-2002, 10:41 PM

So, trying to figure out just what the fuck is wrong with me, my roommates--one's a nurse, the other's a biology major--listened to my symptoms, and it sounds like I have hypoglycemia. Yay. Fffuck. I don't even have health insurance. I can't afford to see a doctor.

Does it make any difference if I just let a nurse give me health care?

Most people who are hypoglycemic regulate it without prescription medicine...mostly through diet and exercise. what are your symptoms?

Shaky as hell, feeling sick and dizzy, and a whole lot of other shit. Lately I've begun feeling like I'm going to pass out.

I took this test thing on a hypoglycemia site, and scored yes on almost every one. It was rather disturbing.

You got the first part of the word correct.

I'm hypoglycemic, so is my mother and her mother. It isn't a big deal. It's not diabetes. In order to keep from getting shaky or dizzy, make sure you have snacks or something onhand or at least drink some orange juice. Don't suck on a sugarcube or a lollipop when you're low on sugar. Eat something decent.

It's not a life threatening disease. Unless you're passing out or unable to function alltogether, just shove something in your mouth. It doesn't have to be a cake.

And why don't you have health insurance, dumbass?

Again, stop freaking out. It's HYPOGLYCEMIA. The websites probably make it sound life threatening, but for gods sake. My mother is a nurse WITH hypoglycemia, so I'm not just pulling all of this out of my ass.

i had hypoglycemia for a while
the best cure for it is exercise and proper eating (eat smaller portions, but eat more often, so don't pass more than 2 hours without eating a little snack)
and walk walk walk
thats the best thing. i walk for 25 minutes before work almost every week day and it makes me feel really good...cos i suffer from those dizzy spells and thtas the only thing that keeps them away
