Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and Seizures

Life4me I recently started communicating on this web site, and it is due to my desperation w/ "what I thought was Hypoglycemia since 2005"! Several weeks ago, I left my THIRD Endocrinologist's office crying hysterically because I felt that no one believed me that I had seizures when my blood sugar appeared low. Like others, my blood sugar was always tested in the normal range and I was bounced back and forth from my Neurologist to my Endocrinologist who even put me on Metformin 1000mg (Diabetes meds), and the low sugar symptoms INCREASED! Anyway, I decided to do my own research, and Hypoglycemia.com's staff informed me that Epilepsy creates chemical imbalances within your body such as low blood sugar. For 2 years, I thought that I (and my Family Care Doctor) thought that I was Diabetic even though numerous blood sugar tests were always normal. I weaned myself off the Metformin, and doing much better today because that medication was actually raising my insulin higher and making me more weaker. Today, I am still having those symptoms but not as severe, and I also found out that a high protein diet makes a big difference. Last night, I had a dinner that had a lot of kidney beans and had a normal evening. Most times, I snack on a stick of cheese, or keep some nuts in my purse for emergencies. My body literally has me on a feeding schedule, and I find that frustrating. I can even predict seizures such as if I am even late (15 minutes) for a meal, light-headness begins. Recently, I was @ a restaurant which had a 15 minutes wait for seating, and I had a seizure while being seated. The waiter had to run to get soda because it reaches my blood stream quickly and gets to the brain as glucose. Talk about embarrassing! I am determined to find an answer for these seizures. I really don't like eating when I am not hungry especially in order to sleep through the night, I have to eat a high protein snack around 10:00pm. Anyway, relieved that this is neurological, and that I don't have Diabetes. I hope that this info helps. Small snacks and lots of protein helps, but also causes weight gain. Epileptic for 12 years, and thinking about all those meds. that I have taken since then, and kinda understand why Epilepsy may cause chemical imbalances.

Well I have not been diagnosed offically branded with epilepsy but I do have some things going onthat are leading me to believe that I will be ther shortly. I have noticed a realtion between these two though. If I need to eat and I wait, in the mornings man it is ten times worse than in the evening time. I will still get the same effectbut it is times ten in the am? I thought that I knew for sure that it was my blood sugar, went to dr when I was in the middle of one of the episodes and blood sugar was normal. But I was as spaced out as a person can get and stay on earth. Now I can say that I do feel better after I eat and that my symptoms will sometimes subside. It is good to see that I am not as nutty as I thought I was and that other people are experiencing some of the same symptoms as me. Thanks
