Re: Constant hunger (Hypoglycemia or Symptoms of It)

[Guest guest]

Matt,

It sounded at first like you feel hypoglycemic but aren't technically.

" I am experiencing constant hunger, hypoglycemic like, yet with a stable glucose

level.... "

But this addition confused me:

" ...My diet is in check, oat meal, whole wheat bread, lentils are included

everyday, yet blood sugar drops low... "

Does your blood glucose meter show 70 mg/dL or below

-frequently

-infrequently, or

-not at all?

Or does it show significant decrease within 30-60 min?

Your source of carbs looks good. How many carbs do you eat per meal?

I'd say 160 cals worth of carbs, and I beleive my glucose is fine after eating,

but the adrenals don't allow me to go with out food for longer than an hour.

Every time I get a draw my glucose is coming back lower each time. I sure sign

my adrenals are getting worse. Most recent glucose non fasting 74.

This is odd in that many men with low T have low energy after lunch (perhaps due

in part to decreased glucose tolerance), though eating too many carbs can cause

reactive hypoglycemia from overproduction of insulin. Though I'm on T now, I

can personally vouch for the combination of carbs, fat, and protein as being

more filling, whereas carbs alone & /or insufficient protein and fat leave me

still hungry.

Assuming your meter is working properly and this is a frequent post meal (+1

hour) occurrence, I think you need to visit a doc, tell him about your hunger

and show him your log of glucose tests. It sounds like it's time to see a

doctor near you who specializes in treating adrenal fatigue.
