Hi all,
All my life I've had a hunch I become hypoglycemic when I haven't eaten in a while: I get extremely nautious irritable/angry, lethargic, shaky, and pale. If I eat sweet tarts or drink OJ I feel better within minutes. My mother used to tell me I confused hunger with sleepiness as a kid. My boyfriend has learned to have something sugary in his glove compartment at all times. Yesterday we got stuck in traffic while driving to visit my folks. Per usual, I started feeling sick and ate half a pack of Neccos (most unappreciated candy ever BTW) which helped a little but still felt sick. My mom checks her own sugars and has a kit so when we got to their house I checked my sugar level and it was 60. My question is: What sugar level is considered hypoglycemic? Do I need to go to a doctor or take any other precautions?
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks everyone.
