For the past four years I have had what I thought was simple low blood sugar. I was light headed, nauseous, and headachey in the mornings, more directly after I had slept or after I hadn't eaten for a while. It's was really bad after a nap. This started exactly the beginning of my senior year of high school and I thought I was just inheriting it from my mom. Now its progressed to being the sole reason I eat at all. I don't bother to listen to my hunger I just eat when I have that headache, to make it go away. I decided to check my blood sugar with my grandmother's test kit. I've done it twice now; once after I hadn't eaten for over 12 hours, and once when I woke up and felt the familiar symptoms. It came out perfect both times and now I'm worried. I haven't seen a doctor cause I don't have health insurance and I really don't like hospitals anyway. I started drinking a soda in the mornings and now I can't shake the symptoms without a glass of juice. Really any sugar helps, most especially natural ones, and now its the first thing I go for when I'm 'hungry.' I recently read Magic Foods for Better Blood Sugar and it made a lot of sense. I thought for sure I had low blood sugar but the when I eat the foods in the book it dosen't help that light headed headache. I've also noticed that I can be completely full on good healthy food, protein, good carbs, ect and still have the symptoms. I've become slightly worried. Also I have crazy insomnia and I don't eat properly. If anyone has any idea I would appreciate your input. Thanks
