What Causes Chronic Fatigue And Low Blood Sugar Levels?

I suffered a hypoglycemic episode on July 17 2014 in my place of work. After this episode and my changing my diet to complex carbs lean meats and vegetables I have noticed a weakness in my ability to do everyday shores and even at work. I also have noticed that my blood sugar will drop to 60 ml. after a short 20 minute exercise on my stationary bike or treadmill. I have gone to an endocrinologist and my primary care doctor. They have done blood work on me and have told me that they don t have any idea what is causing my fatigue or the drop in glucose levels after I exercise. I am growing frustrated and I don t know what else to do.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Your chronic fatigue is due to low blood sugar levels.
2. Need to look at your reports to order further investigations. Age, not sure. thinking of a insulinoma or a possible para-neoplastic syndrome secondary to a tumor.
3. Evaluation of insulin or C-peptide hormone levels is necessary. Adrenal, pituitary also needs evaluation. Require more details for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
