Anyone else have symptoms of hypoglycemia?

Im getting my blood tested soon to be sure, but my main issue in recovery lately has been what seems to be low blood sugar....I start to get hungry and if I don't eat I get all the classic symptoms..shaky, dizzy, visual disturbances, feeling faint, anxiety. It always goes away after I eat. I just stopped keto that I was on for like 6 months. I'm now eating bread again and starches like potatoes and trying to eat a high protein diet. Anyone else go through this? People with hypoglycemia with no diabetes have it for underlying reasons..

I have this a lot. I tested for diabetes and stuff like that but the results were ok. Started after the first cuts. But getting checked is a good idea, to be sure it's not something else wrong. It's like a weird craving but i dont know what i'm craving.(maybe the drug?). And i get shaky and my hands are trembling. Legs too.

I have had this and it gets worse if I am under pressure or stressed out. It also got worse after jumping. We have a blood sugar testing machine at work and when it felt really bad I tested myself and my sugar was fine. So I ascribed it to being really down from benzos and just wanting a "pick me up" -  ultimately they say there is a shortage of dopamine and that I am trying to balance my brain chemistry...... the same global science authority says benzo withdrawal only lasts a week or two and benzo damage and suffering is not a clinical reality..... so I am rather just going to stick with how I was brought up..... eat regularly and well , stick to mealtimes and avoid processed foods..... you know....

 

Seriously, discuss it with a doctor but the combination you mention.....if I had that.... I.'d say it is withdrawal.

 

Hypoglycemia left untreated can be life threatening, be sure!

I craved sugar when I was going through this.  I'm glad no one can check my past Amazon orders.  ::)

The cravings went away in time, but seemed so bizarre at the time except that others were going through the same thing so I knew it wasn't just me.

Pick u pa glucometer, pretty cheap. It’s hard to tell the difference between hypoglycemia and anxiety, hypoglycemia triggers the same fight or flight neuroendocrine response. I have always been prone to it, small frequent meals and high protein take care of it. Could try a 15g protein snack at bedtime too.
