Hypoglycemia Fun

Well I made another lovely trip to the doctor again today. After throwing up all morning and passing out..yep that's fun at work...I decided I better head in. So apparently my hypoglycemia has reared it's ugly head again. I have had it since I was a teenager, but with my pregnancies it's usually worse. Well this time its a doosy. When they checked my blood pressure this morning it was at 86/63. Yeah...that's bad. Plus my blood sugar was at 84...also not good. Normal is around 110-140. So I now get to check my blood pressure twice a day and my blood sugar every morning, for a week and then take the results in with me to the doctor next week. On top of that I think I may have a touch of the flu, which is not helping me to keep my blood sugar up...since I keep throwing up everything I eat. Things have been better. Oh well, what do you do? I just keeping downing that water and keep a candy bar in my purse. Well I have to actually start listening to the conference call I'm on. Bye.

  6. Hope you start feeling better soon and that this is just some nasty trick your body is playing on you and doesn't persist throughout pregnancy. Good luck with everything!

  7. Art wants to know if they tested you for Gilbert's Syndrome when they diagnosed you with Hypoglycemia.......he says that the symptoms are so similar and since he has Gilbert's and you two are so similar......he just wondered:)
