Hi guys, since April I've had this fear about low blood sugar. At this point it's like an obsession that just will not get out of my head. It's especially bad until after I eat lunch.
I get this rush of anxiety every 3 hours or when I get up in the morning. If I don't eat a large breakfast I'm often on edge until after lunch. This is an everyday thing. For example, today for breakfast I had a skive of toast with half peanut butter and half jelly. I paired it with a glass of milk and had an orange. I finished breakfast around 1130. My mom wanted to go get lunch so I got myself dressed and headed out with her around noon. The entire car ride and until I finally sat down to eat I felt so anxious and was worried I would pass out because of low blood sugar. I get this worst feeling of wanting to just flee and run away. My head also started feeling odd and I started to become increasingly irritated. As well as a floaty and out of it feeling. How could I be having low blood sugar if I literally ate less than an hour ago. At around 1230 I had my lunch and felt fine after.
My question is, I wasn't even feeling physically hungry when this happened. Could you have low blood sugar even if you aren't physically hungry? At this point i don't know if it's all in my head or what. We finished lunch around 1 and I didn't eat anything until 6 except for a couple jujubes at 4pm because I started to feel anxious thinking that it has already been 3 hours since I last ate. It's literally a never ending cycle.
