For some helpful history, I found an excellent nutrition book for all ailments including arthritis, obesity, and had charts and lists to improve our diets. In the diabetes chapter the author listed low blood sugar as a person who is neurotic. I wrote a note in my book that said low sugar can certainly make a person neurotic! Yes, I was stressed but corrected it easily with diet changes and omitting some carbs and sweets. I got my help from a neighbor because my doctor was not helpful. When I had a four- hour blood sugar test they admonished my bad behavior and told me to "straightened up and stop this nonsense." My mother had to help me out of the shower and dress me because my blood sugar was so low from the tests.
I never went back and never had another one of those dangerous tests. They thought I was a mental case.
I lost weight and was quite well for a few years. I think doctors are better informed these days, but the search for answers continues in some cases. Everyone is different at times. Dorisena
