Hypoglycemia
I need hlep with my frequent drop in sugar level (hypoglycemia). My sugar level drops every four minutes or so. I have to constantly eat to keep it stable.I do have hypothyroidism, but hypoglycemia only started right months ago. I have changed my diet to high portiens, fats and carbs and my condition has improved a lot: the sugar level drop is not as drastic but still every four minutes. Please advise me what to do to resolve my condition.
Thanks.

Thank you for replying back and looking into my condition.
Every four minutes or so I feel like light shakiness and if I did not eat then it will get worse and I will end up in bed for hours with weakness and dizziness.
For hypothyroidism, I am taking Synthroid 0.125 mg and my TSH is in the normal range: 4.0
I have no symptoms of hypothyroid like fatigue etc. But I have gained a lot of weight around my belly and thighs especially that I have to eat constantly.
In thelast twomonths, I have changed my diet to no sugars or refined carbohydrates. I have also stopped consuming honey, dates and many other food items. My sugar level is much more stable now but I still have to eat every few minutes.
I also did not have my period this month. My periods have always been irregular.
Please help.

When did you first do a Blood Test for Blood Sugar and for TSH level when you were diagnosed as suffering from both Diabetes and Hypothyroidism?
What are the levels that were shown in your reports at that time?
What are your levels today?
What therapy did your doctor prescribe at that time and when did he do so?
Please complete the Patient's Questionnaire on:

I have had hypothyroidism for about seven years. The last time I checked my my TSH was a month ago and it was 5.55 so the doctor increased my dose a little in order to bring the TSH in the normal range (5.50 -0.35).
It took the doctors four months to figure out what was going on with me after doing an oral glucose test where the blood sugar level dropped to 1.4.
I have hypoglycemia and not diabetes.
The doctor did not prescribed anything formy hypoglycemia but recommened a diet change. The change in my dite has heleped improve the drop in the sugar level but I am constantly hungry and the sugar level still drops slightly every few minutes.
Because I feel shaky every few minutes, I do not bother checking my blood sugar level. Should I?
Why do I feel shaky every few minutes, if I do not eat, then I feel shaky and will end up being dizzy and weak in bed.
