Almost Had To Go To The Hospital

I just wanted to throw in another possibility. If I drink anything with Nutrasweet in it my brain goes haywire and dizzy. I wonder if the Sprite was sugarfree.

I also have hypoglycemia and that definitely sounds like a possibility to me. Maybe it was more than one thing that zapped you.

I'm glad you're doing better. I know how frightening that is!!! I hate it when those out of control symptoms come rushing at me and I don't even know what I did!

I'm scheduled for a CBC blood panel. Does that check for hypoglycemia?

It depends on what they're testing, and what time of day you go, what you've eaten, etc.

If they're doing a full panel with glucose levels, then it will show what your blood glucose was at the time of testing. I doubt that would show hypoglycemia, though. The medical test for that is a glucose tolerance test, and it involves drinking syrup and then waiting for you to crash, my dr wouldn't do it because it's cruel. The Vincent method of testing for hypoglycemia is also a good one, maybe he'll chime in.
