If it's not that, what else is it? Neurological, eh? I've had panic attacks and these are not like that.<br /><br />Mind you, I read (in the link) under Biological Causes there wasn't just hypoglycemia and Vit B deficiency (having both) but mitral valve prolapse. I've been diagnosed with Trivial Tricuspid Regurgitation, though I'm not sure it's directly linked to MVP. I could go back to my cardiologist and ask a few questions, see if they're related (current symptoms to other possible diagnosis).Perovskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288179080765960283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261162596630192850.post-23562053121286417152010-05-13T21:30:29.581+02:002010-05-13T21:30:29.581+02:00That's reassuring, that your fasting and A1c a...That's reassuring, that your fasting and A1c are normal.<br /><br />So, forgive me for being a sleuth :) But, if I were to rule out any glucose abnormality, the next thing I think of is a neurological problem.

I...I wish I had a device to measure my sugar, Bix. I can only tell by the way I feel (very weak, shaky, sometimes affecting my vision and if it's really bad, faint-like, so much that I want to collapse). <br /><br />I have had the fasting and HbA1c done and it was normal. All my blood tests over the years have been "normal", yet I've still had these reactions. I don't know what else to suggest we get done.<br /><br />I haven't had the one where they make you drink something then you go back an hour or two later and they check your sugar.Perovskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288179080765960283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261162596630192850.post-21807891371433541292010-05-13T15:44:08.926+02:002010-05-13T15:44:08.926+02:00Will do Hydra, thanks.Will do Hydra, thanks.Perovskiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288179080765960283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261162596630192850.post-76092727250944302842010-05-13T15:05:30.755+02:002010-05-13T15:05:30.755+02:00When you say your sugar plummeted, how low did it ...When you say your sugar plummeted, how low did it go? The 60s? (We use mg/dl here.)<br /><br />I know you said you suffer from hypoglycemia. I am wondering if you've ever had a test for diabetes, either a fasting blood test or an HbA1c ... that's a blood test that indicates your average blood sugar over a period of a few months.Bixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263963508785739508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1261162596630192850.post-13380483939053681042010-05-13T11:01:34.083+02:002010-05-13T11:01:34.083+02:00Hope you're OK.
