Blogger Status: Health Update

Hi.
First of all, I´d like to send a big thanks to Mariuca and Monica, two great bloggers I meet trough Entrecard, for showing your concern about my health.
I have Hipoglicemia since teen. This metabolic problem has no specific treatment like Diabetes has. All I can do is carry a packet of sugar with me and eat very frequently.
Every time I go to a new doctor (which was the case today), they make me do this horrible blood tests and I have to spend the whole morning without eating. Normally, when I don´t eat for a long time, my blood pressure and sugar levels drop and I feel really sick. I always feel sick when I do the glicemia tests, in fact, I have passed out a few times.
Well, I have good news: I went to the doctor, a lady, and she didn´t ask for any exams. It was such a relief to hear that this time there won´t be any needles!
I´m not affraid of needles or have any blood phobia, I just hate all the process. I think a new glicemia test should be invented, without jejum all morning and that awful sweet milky thing they give us to drink.
Ok, so now I´m off to update my other blogs and get some sleep.
A good Friday!

I have hypoglycaemia too. I have found out that having sugar is the worst thing for you, after having done it for 18y years. I now eat no sugary foods at all. I eat lots of complex carbs such as brown rice and wholemeal pasta and bread and eat every 2-3 hours. I have found that I now hardly ever feel unwell and if I do a banana or slice of toast is the best thing to help me to feel better.

that's great news, my dad is diabetic and he undergoes the same process, although he's not complaining, i'm sure he feels the same as you do.

Hi Rachel!
Oh, is that so. You need to be extra careful when dieting.
I agree, I also have bread or fruits when I´m in crisis. If I´m at home it´s easier, but when I go out I take something in my bag.
Bananas have natural fruit sweet, it´s a good tip.
My biggest problem is I really forget to eat every 2/3 hours.
A good week!
