Hello! This Is Related To My Blood Sugar. I Have

default
Posted on Tue, 29 Sep 2020
Question: Hello! This is related to my blood sugar. I have been waking up lately (the past week) with my blood sugar having dropped in the middle of the night. I have not changed my diet so I am unsure why this is happening now all of a sudden. Is stress a factor? I have also noticed that I am getting hungrier a lot faster than normal. Within 10 minutes after a meal, I feel hungry as if I have not eaten anything at all. Can you please explain why and how I can stop my blood sugar from dropping especially in the middle of the night? The headaches that come from it is unbearable.
Much appreciated!

Brief Answer:
Check blood sugar:

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
If you are not taking treatment for Diabetes, the blood sugar levels under 70 mg/ dl, especially during the night or fasting are suggestive for overproduction of insulin from pancreas ( usually insulinoma).
You need to check the blood sugar at that moment that you don't feel well and see an endocrinologist in person if levels result low.
Hope the information will help.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta
