well I have felt awful all day. again I discovered tonight I have lost another pound from last week and I try to eat even if my stomach is off. It is bad if I don't eat because of hypoglycemia . but then I feel bad sometimes after I eat if it was the wrong thing and I haven't figured that out yet. so this morning I felt awful and thought, maybe I need to eat and was going to check this new blood glucose machine I just ordered to see what it was like only to find out it didn't come with the strips
no one told me that. so I ate anyway. felt a little better for a while then right back to just feeling sluggish, jumpy , and really out of it again. I tried so many things that now I am thinking I over did the grabbing at straws thing. I really wish my doctors were more caring. Monday I am going to call a couple of doctors my friend told me are really good. We will see. I felt so bad, I told my son I sure hope they find whats wrong before I die with it. 
actually I have felt so bad at times I didn't care if I died so I will quit suffering.

Those machines use to come with at least 10 strips their getting crazy but also sometimes they charage for more strips if you have insurance.

I hope they can figure it out soon! It could be finding the right foods or at least in a particular combination for your condition. Sometimes I think it's better to do your own research about these things - it's wonderful there are forums and stuff online for those with similar conditions - all their findings and experiences can be shared. I feel like doctors often go by the textbook but don't necessarily understand what really helps.

I hope they figure out what the problem is. Did you eat protein or carbs, protein might be better for blood sugar.

it is really not because of a diet. it is because of low blood sugar. then i think it gets to high after i eat. not sure.

@bunnybon7 you need a doctor who is an endocrinologist that will check you sounds llike you are diabetic with some neuropathy which causes pain.

I know what you mean! I have fibro and a lot of pain, there are times I just want to cut off what's wrong. I saw one of those forensic shows where a man shot himself in the back of his head because that's where he hurt... I feel that way about my neck sometimes!
