Hypoglycemia into diabetes?
I have had severe low blood sugar for many years. (26 on 5 hour glucose tolerance testing) I have had no other health problems, and do not drink alchohol and am not overweight. A couple of years back I found that I had high triglycerides, high blood pressure, high cholesterol. I recently had a bout that they thought might be a touch of pancreatitis, but we really don't know anything other than the fact that I was in so much pain and my lipase was out of whack. Just now they are telling me that I my blood sugar is high. I have always watched my diet because of my low blood sugar, so I don't eat fast foods, sugars, don't drink, etc. I'm wondering if the hypoglycemia has turned into diabetes - did my pancreas wear out from producing so much insulin? When I was pregnant my son was 9 1/2 pounds and my sister had diabetes.
Jshu - I've had severe hypoglycemia from about 5 years old. Unfortunatly, for me, it has turned into type 2 diabetes. The best advice I can give you is to have a glucose tolerance test done as soon as possible. This will sort out everything.
