Me too, I'm suffering with episodes of hypoglycemia and I can feel

it coming on...shakes, dizzy, blurred vision, clammy....I checked my

sugar before I ate and it was 48! Yikes! I now have to eat

something every 2 hrs, high protein and really watch for any hidden

sugars in foods. It's pretty scarey and I also passed out recently.

Your not alone,
