I occasionally have problems with low blood sugar even though I am eating plenty and this can make me put on weight and I need to lose weight as I am 4 stones overweight. I haven't had any problems recently but today I ate breakfast and then had a sandwich and small bowl of chips for lunch - i ate more than I normally do. About 2 hrs later I felt a bit hungry so at two slices of toast and this really seemed to trigger a hypo attack. I then ate 3 digestive biscuits and did my blood sugar on my diabetic husbands meter and it was only 5.8 which given how much I had eaten was low.
The only change to my eating is that we ran out of wholemeal bread and yesterday and today I ate white bread which I never ever do and am wondering if this could be cause of my low blood sugar.
I have had this problem on and off for many years but no Dr takes it seriously just tells me to keep off sugar which for me seems to make me even worse???
One Dr told me that if I had a insulin producing tomour i would go unconscious as mr sugar level would be so low, but i still worry.
