Hi there,

Am hoping some people on this forum can help me with a really quick question: what level is your blood-sugar at when you start to notice symptoms of hypoglycemia?

I have been having symptoms of hypoglycemia for about five years now. It is reasonably bad at the moment, and I need to eat every three hours. I must also wake at night to eat.

My blood-sugar just before eating is usually around 90mg/dL (5.0mmol/L), and it around this level that I start to get the typical symptoms of hypoglycemia... agitation, cognitive difficulties, low energy etc. These are all fixed after I have a meal.

After digesting a meal, my blood-sugar hovers around a healthy 100mg/dL, sometimes going a little over but not much. But three hours after eating it will drop to around 90 and I must eat again.

At the moment I am wondering if I really am hypoglycemic if I am getting symptoms at just 90mg/dL, or if there is something else happening here... I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for four years now, and I highly suspect the two are linked in some way. Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome has a theory that includes hypoglycemia, and a few that include your cells not being able to produce ATP... so I am trying to understand what is going on here.

Thoughts and comments are appreciated :)

BTW, I am a vegetarian, and try to include some whole grains, protein and fat with each meal. Do not take sugar.
