Diabetes ?

I have notice when I eat something with allot of sugar my Blood sugar gets really low a few hours later. I get light headed, dizzy, Nervous and irritable. I also get thirty and feel really hungry. I get Headaches too. When I eat something mainly with allot of carbs it goes back up. If I eat more sugar it goes up, but then suddenly drops again. Could this be Diabetes? If so what type?
It sounds like Hypoglycemia to me.

Your brains??? primary source of food is Glucose and oxygen. We can???t store much of either so when your body feels it is low on glucose you get the fight or flight response. It???s basically your body saying, DO SOMETHING NOW!!! So when your blood sugar gets low you feel hungry, you get all nervous and shaky, start sweating, you can feel your Heart pounding; you NEED food. If you don???t get that food, your Brain starts getting starved, so it starts shutting down, some people more gradually than others. Some get sleepy, some just faint. This is an emergency, Call 911; get some juice, syrup, sugar, anything.But NEVER try to pour juice or food into the Mouth of an unconscious person!! This could cause them to choke. Use syrup or sugar and rub into their cheek but call 911!

Try Eating small meals with (around) the same amounts of Protein, fat and carbs. Aim for 6 small meals a day. Carry around some M&M's or other small candy so if you start to Feel bad, you can eat a few while you try to get some "real" food.

High blood sugar has symptoms of...Polyphagia (frequently hungry), Polyuria (frequently urinating), Polydipsia (frequently thirsty), Blurred vision, Fatigue, Weight Loss, Poor wound healing, Dry mouth, Dry or Itchy skin, Impotence, Recurrent infections.

I would ask your MD for some blood work; a normal range for a non-diabetic person varies from lab to lab but a general guideline is 60-120. If you are going by the hemoglobin A1c test, a non-diabetic patient should be less than 8% and to reduce the risk of complications from heart disease, kidney disease or anything else, a diabetic patient should keep their level below 7%. The A1c can show your MD what your blood sugar has been running over the past 2-3 months.

Good luck to you.
