Hypoglycemia: Getting worse?

I have a few questions...I've been diagnosed with hypoglycemia for as long as I can remember. I am 17, turning 18 on New Year's Eve.

Recently, I have been looking up hypoglycemia, and I think I that I know nothing about it.

I've been having dizzy spells and if I don't eat breakfast...well, last year, I grabbed something to eat (turned out to be organic oatmeal cookies) to eat for breakfast, and I felt so dizzy that I threw up and slept the rest of the day. The spells happen everytime I get up, basically, and I wake up in the middle of the night and go back to sleep, to see that, yet again, I wake up an hour or so later. Sometimes I shake and I don't feel like eating, all I want is sweets, so I eat a brownie or a scoop of ice cream, and then I feel horrible, like I want to throw up. Sometimes I am so hungry, so I make something to eat, but then I feel so sick that I can't eat it. Sometimes I have trouble breathing. Everything's gone away, with light dizziness occasionally. Should I still be concerned?

(I seem to have all or most of the symptoms of hypoglycemia….but, the question is: Is it a ‘disease’ itself or is something connected only with diabetes? I am so confused!)

My doctor and I have done nothing about this, we never talk about it when I go to her. It's always my asthma that is the concern.

I've been reading, as I said before, and it said I should wear an ID tag, but isn't that only for diabetes?

All sites said to eat some candy...I agree that helps, but it seems to have a crash later, maybe?

Am I taking this too seriously?

I am confused because I have been doing nothing really, and it the sites say that it is a symptom or something like that (downfall?) of Type 1. Is that true? Then what is wrong with me? Or are all they wrong? Because, for all I know, I don't have Type 1.

I don't THINK that it's Type 1, because wouldn't it have been worse? Or more visible? Maybe it's Type 2? I'm uneducated and have no clue!

Can you get diabetes from hypoglycemia?

Can someone help me? I'm itching to know what's wrong with my body.

I hope this doesn't reach you too late, but it sounds exactly like hypoglycemia. I too have symptoms that come and go and I have this condition as confirmed by a glucose tolerance test. You really need to tell your doctor about this and have the GTT done.

You should go ahead and follow the hypoglycemia diet and see if you improve. Basically you stay away from sweets and simple starches. Meat and vegetables are going to be the best bet.

And yes, it can turn in to diabetes.

Thank you.

I've been diagnosed with type two.
