What Causes Excessive Hunger, Fatigue And Dizziness?

My grand daughter has reached out to me with some health concerns she is having. She thinks she might have Hypoglycemia . I told her to go to a doctor and get checked out. We have a family history of both types 1 and 2 Diabetes in the family as well as issues with Hypoglysemia. Her symptoms are: Sudden onset Feels Hungry Hotflashes Fatigue Her bones and muscels ache She says that she gets dizzy and can t really talk or smile and her brain is fuzzy and her sentences trail off I question if there might be something else going on. She says that eating always helps but wonders if perhaps she is not eating frequently enough She is in college and is 20 years old. She has a history of Lactose intolerance and requires her to take Lactaid tablets before she eats so that she doesn t get horribly sick. Any thoughts on this?
