Hello~I am sorry your mother is having these issues.

Has she had her blood sugars tested, what you have described sounds like episodes of low blood sugar, does this happen before or after a meal?

I would ask her doctor and see if he will perform an A1c test, that is just a simple blood draw that sees what the sugar levels have been doing for the last 3 months. He probably should also do some other blood work such as a CBC and SMAC to make sure there are no other issues.

I hope she feels better soon.

Thank you for the feedback.

She had her blood test backdated 05/2017.
Her blood test seems normal (haematology examination), blood glucose 80mg/dl.
But high in LIPIDS studies: total cholesterol 6.73mmol/L(< 5.18), Triglycerides 1.74mmol/L(< 1.70), LDL - Cholesterol 3.9mmol/L(< 2.6).

Thyroid Profile: Free T3 = 5.81 v (pmol/L) [2.63-5.71].
