What is going on with me??

Yes, it happens to me, but I am a Type II diabetic. The symptoms you described sound like a low blood sugar or hypoglycemia. This is caused by the body producing an over amount of insulin, or by not eating. The timeline between noon and 4:30 is actually a long time. This is the same time of day that I tend to have my lowest blood glucose levels. It sounds that you may have had gestational diabetes (only occurs during pregnancy) which may have moved on to Type II diabetes after the birth of your child. Sounds like followup care was lacking. This is only a thought. An HbA1C blood test will determine whether or not you have the disease.

If I don't have enough food, I definetely feel faint. Don't worry, just take yourself more food everyday and you will feel better day by day!

I think you are undergoing hypoglycemia, i.e. low sugar. Are you diabetic by any chance ? If so, you must be on tablets to control it. Many times, when I too feel very shakey inside, i know my sugar level has gone down. Get yourself tested for diabetes and if your are safe, at such times, do eat a bar of chocolate immediately. You will feel much better immediately. Since it is happeing on and oft, eat a proper lunch, not just soup and keep chocolate bars ready.

Hi sunrae60 This happens to my boyfriend alot.He becomes shaky and needs to eat something,its like a siugar attack,he needs to put some food in him to bring up his sugar level because its too low.Its not diabetes,its natural for some of us,even me to have this when i don't eat/skip a meal or havent eaten for a while(snacks).I also develope diabetes when i was pregnant with my daughter but it went away after she was born,some mommies get this only when they are pregnant.They cannot produce enough insulin for the baby and them so it works over time and cannot keep up,developing pregnancy diabetes.But since you said you had it since you were pregnant with your first daughter ofof and on,maybe you have a small form of diabetes,needing no needles or medication,just eating well and eating enough to keep up your sugar at the correct level.I would talk to your doctor about this.

Have a regular food intake. Maybe you have skipped you meal once. I had the same thing because I had ulcers.

Maybe you can turn to Chinese Medicine or Acuputure to strengthen your health.

Yes, sunrae60, it happens to me all the time. I think it's low blood sugar. I feel better when I eat, too, after starting to feel that way. I strongly suggest you get tested for diabetes as well, even if there's not a family history - it has to start with someone, right? In the meantime, I've found the solution to be instead of eating three big meals a day, I "graze" all day on low-fat foods. For example, I'm not a breakfast eater. The sight of food in the morning makes me ill. But after a few hours, I'm starving! So, I'll have wheat toast smeared with a little jelly or half an English muffin and some fruit..whatever you favor. A few hours later, I'll have a small salad or again some fruit and nuts and if I'm really in the mood, maybe some baked fish with a splash of lemon juice and then some yogurt sprinkled with wheat germ. I just continue this all day. You're not ingesting more calories just because you're eating five or six times a day instead of three. This is called being a "grazer." Those who can and do eat three meals a day and that's it are called "troughers." People can be either but they need to be what works best for them. Remember the water - it's good for you ALL day with no calories and it refreshes and gives you energy.
