Avatar n tn Have you had a glucose tolerance test to see if your body produces too much insulin as a reaction when you eat? This is a different test from having a simple blood sugar test -- you must drink a sugary solution and blood is drawn several times to see how your body is reacting. Unfortunately, when people have what is called REACTIVE HYPOGLYCEMIA (when the body reacts by over-producing insulin, which causes hypoglycemia), it can be difficult to show in a test.
Avatar n tn In situations of pre-diabetes, we often hear that people have bouts of hypoglycemia. This happens when the glucose levels start to rise too much and the person's body over-compensates by producing too much insulin.

Avatar f tn When you say "I take my 15mcg cytomel 2 in AM and 1 Mid Afternoon", I assume you mean 2 - 5 mcg tablets in the morning and 1 5 mcg tablet Mid-afternoon, is that correct?

Avatar m tn One of my parents and a good friend have hypoglycemia. They just needs to eat frequently. Both can feel when their glucose level drops.
