Severe Night Sweats. Blood Work Showed Sugar Very Low At 59 After Food. Suggested High Protein Diet. Normal?

Ive been having severe night sweats every night. Soaking me and the mattress. Had blood work and everything was fine except sugar. It was 59 at 10:30 am after 2 pop tarts and orange juice. This is the third time she's checked and it's always really low. She just said to eat a high protein diet. Is this normal? I've been having the nights sweats severely for about 2 months.

Hello
Welcome to HCM

Sudden onset night sweats along with low sugar levels can be observed with some anxiety disorder or panic disorder. Sudden onset anxiety can present with low sugar levels, sweating, palpitations, weakness, impending sense of doom etc symptoms. Hyper thyroid states can also present with symptoms of anxiety along with low sugar levels. I would advise you to increase her protein intake as you have been told already and to consult a good doctor for expert management.

Thanks
