Thanks for the invite. Hopefully, this group can come in handy for

me.

I'm 30 years old, and I have been dealing with the symptoms of

Diabetes for almost half a year now. I do know that I have low blood

sugar. Diabetes runs in my family. My Aunt and her daughter have

it, and they had the same symptoms that I have, but it took my Aunt's

doctor 10 years to diagnose it. I'm not waiting that long.

In fact, I'm waiting on call back from my doctor today, hopefully. I

only found out about the low sugar, because my last doctor did the

glucose tolerance test, and that's how it was found. I tested myself

for a while, and my numbers were all over the place. I haven't

tested in a long time, because nobody seems to think that I have

anything wrong, yet, I get dizzy, headachy, tired, eat and drink a

lot, use the restroom a lot, and I have been trying to lose weight.

But, when I started the low carb deal, because my stomach couldn't

handle much, (which I think is connected with the sugar, by the way),

that's when I dropped 14 pounds. I have been trying since Janurary,

and I started the low carbs about March/April, and that's when I lost

the weight.

How do I approach my doctor with my suspicions, especially when they

are so afraid to diagnose it? I'm going back to school in August,

and I don't want it to be so interfering that I end up missing

classes because of it. Thanks.
