Is this my sugar getting low?

Question

I have a really bad habit of not eating , I guess I just forget? It doesn’t help that I have a horrible digestive system and spend my life in the bathroom shortly after eating.. 
It’s almost 6pm, and I haven’t ate yet today . 
I got off the floor after playing with my 4 month old, I was walking to the kitchen to make a bottle and my vision got extremely blurry , I was losing my balance and starting to shake . 
My vision comes back , within I’d say about 30 seconds and everything’s fine and back to normal. 
This used to happen to me before I was pregnant , and this is the first time it’s happened since having baby. 
I guess I really just don’t have much of an appetite, nor energy.. and I’m sure the no energy comes from not eating .. but half the time I’m terrified to! 
I semi talked to my doctor about it before and he just brushed it off ..

Answer

Your digestive system is going to be messed up when you are constantly depriving it from food. Id talk to a doctor to see about underlying condition and possibly a therapist to address the eating issue.

Answer

You’re not eating. You need food for energy, to live! Your blood sugar is not the only concern here. Speak to your doctor.

Answer

skipping food is very bad. please eat.. not eating until 6pm and skipping meals have bad consequences

Answer

You definitely need to eat. Talk to your doctor again. Be your own advocate and push for care. Read about how to advocate for yourself. You should not be limited by your digestive system like that. Go to a gastrointernologist if you can.

Answer

Honestly we can not say. Id suggest at the very least meal replacement shakes and vitamins.

Answer

I can get like that sometimes, without the bathroom situation. Now I usually eat a brunch and eat dinner later, skip lunch. 
I’ve never done this but I suggest maybe a dietitian? They can suggest healthy food ideas so you get the nutrients you need

Answer

Yes, I have chronic low blood sugar and this sounds exactly like what I experience. Do you know why you need to use the restroom after every meal? Have you had a workup with a gastroenterologist?

Answer

Sounds like it. You need to be careful. If your blood sugar drops extremely low you can pass out, and worse case it can lead to worse things. For your child, take care of yourself.

Answer

The dizziness might be an iron deficiency. I get you on the whole not eating thing but you gotta try and eat more even if you don’t have much of an appetite. Especially with young kids, you need all the energy you can get.
