    You know, instead of endlessly speculating whether you have
    hypoglycemia or not, how about investing $30 to buy a super cheap
    blood glucose monitor at walmart and some lancets and strips, and
    fnding it out for yourself. Post your numbers here, some people know
    what they mean and could help you explain your readings.

    You could have a definitive answer in one day, literally.

    I think I will do this today..I just wasn't sure how accurate the "cheapies"
    were.

    Perhaps you have some diabetic relatives nearby, maybe they could lend
    you their monitor...

    Second, there is a reason why Dr Atkins told you to increase your
    carbs, try doing just that -- but only after you check your BG level.

    I'll have to re-read the book/group on the proper testing methodology for
    this stuff.

    Feeling dizzy is outright hazardous and is not a sign of a sane
    approach to diet.

    Believe me, I'm not trying to tough it out, I want to find the answers...

    Third, you are losing 10 lbs per month, try going more slowly. There
    is nothing that you gain by going quickly, as you have a lifetime of
    dieting ahead of you, anyway.

    True true...Like so many people on this WOE I think I set goals that are too
    aggressive based on induction weight loss, and don't feel confident enough
    to start experimenting with OWL. That changes today!!

    Thanks Ig!

    Not according to books I've read. Hypoglycemia is a much more complex than
    just simple low BG levels....

    I don't know of any doctors here, either. I suggest you go see a real
    doctor in real life.
