Increased hypoglycemic episodes
Posted , 7 users are following.
I've always tested (and still test) in the normal range for my blood glucose levels but since I've been in peri, I noticed that I get hungrier a lot more and when I do, I get dizzy, weak, and sometimes shaky until I get something to eat. Sometimes I really don't feel like eating (maybe tired?) but if it's been several hours since I last ate, my stomach definitely feels it and shows it by making the rest of me weak and dizzy. Has anyone noticed changes with their metabolism, too? It's like my blood sugar drops really low nowadays.

Just saw my GP at the time and lots of blood tests. no specialist was involved..
One faint was in a big dept store, i was on my own and woke with a policeman going throu my phone and 2 paramedics checking me .. BP was low low low ..
Just hormones were mentioned and menopause.. By GP and low BP episodes etc

That must have been horrid and Scarry at the same time. The only time I ever fainted was just before my period years ago queuing for a table at restaurant. Weird lost hearing the next thing I knew someone was pushing my head between my knees not a good look. I guess that was hormones too now its a whole new ball game. Having a flush right now. Happy Easter😄

Funny you mentioned testing your blood sugar. I wanted to get me a meter to check myself but I might get obsessed with it too. My doc already said I have OCD because I check my blood pressure multiple times a day. I just hope this will get better once my hormones start regulating (if they ever will!!).
I will try Belvita biscuits. I see them at the grocery store. So hard having to think about what I need to eat to prevent these episodes!
