I get very weak, shaky and kinda dizzy if I don't eat eavery 2-3 hrs. I feel like I need to stop?

One thing that can happen is a rapid drop in blood sugar. If you eat sugar (even if you're not diabetic) you can get a rapid rise in blood sugar level. It's a "sugar high", but it can drop rapidly.It's the rapid drop than can cause "the shakes".

What gets rid of those symptoms quickly, of course, is something like a cookie or candy bar (which makes the sugar level go up again). Protein won't help fast enough once you have those symptoms; but, ideally, you should aim to eat protein, which gives you doesn't give you the same sky-rocketing sugar level (and therefore doesn't cause such a rapid drop). Having said that, though, if this has been going on (and appears to have become a regular thing for a couple of years) you really should find out if you may have some condition beyond just bad eating habits.

Something else to consider is whether you're eating enough for each meal. If you don't eat enough, and if you don't eat something that will get your blood sugar up to a normal level, you could find yourself with low blood sugar not long after. For example, eating lettuce won't do much for your blood sugar level.

Seriously, I don't think having those symptoms that frequently, regularly, and long is something to ignore. Weight gain can make a "thrown off" metabolism even more thrown off, too. Here's a link to some pretty good information on hypoglycemia.

If you have a doctor, you need to see your doctor. You may have hypogycemia (low blood sugar) or even diabetes. Blood work should tell the story.

If you have no insurance and cannot afford to see a doctor and pay, please see if there is a free clinic in your area. Also, you might want to try looking up the glycemic index on line. It will give you a guide to the foods that you eat.

Some foods raise your blood sugar very high, but then cause a drop very quickly. Most people benefit from eating foods that keep your blood sugar steady and the glycemic index can help you do that. I am not a doctor, just a diabetic and concerned for you.

May be a thyroid condition. Please consult a doctor ASAP.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
