Hypoglyceamia + a indenial doctor with a budget

Postby Elly_K » Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:37 pm

I seem to have a problem, all the quiz's I do online suggest I have some sort of low blood suger problem or carbohydrate retardedness.

However when I approach one doctor who I seem to get constantly, they refuse the blood test. Trying to determine a cause for alot of the symptoms of anxiety is tricky but its getting to me.

I eat a pasta meal a short while ago, I had a relaxed feeling come on, then it faded shortly after that happened. now Im back to being alert.

Im a student with a tonne of debts and I just want a blood test of some sort to see if this is a cause becuase all the quiz's are suggesting it is. I can change my diet, but I dont control the food that comes into the house,*mum* does...so If I had solid proof that it was a problem for my anxiety when no other answer seems to be it, Ill have a solid foundation to go with!

Someone help...

That is a bit tough of a situation. All I can say is try to save up some money for the test. Hopefully the test isn't too expensive.

Why not just fast over night, then first thing next morning drink a couple of cans of coca cola, then monitor your symptoms for the next 4-6 hours (dont eat in between or it will scew the results). Symptoms are a good marker, Make sure it isnt diet cola obvs.
