I dealt with pretty bad hypoglycaemia for years hefore getting M.E. because of my severe adrenal fatigue- and because of this i know how to manage it.
However, i crashed about a month ago and the hypoglycaemia has been absolutely out of control at night. I know exactly how many grams of carbs, protein and fat my body can take, i know when to eat and what to/not to eat. My diet is f***ing perfect.
I keep myself under check during the day but i cant make it more than 2 hours sleeping. I eat while laying in bed before sleeping but it only gets me a couple hours. Then, i get shot awake like a bolt of lightening hit me and thats it for the night. I usually can't get back to sleep but i may be able to if i eat a TON, yet that may only net me another hour or so. Not only am i getting worse because of no sleep, im getting drastically worse because of the energy im putting out from adrenaline dumps all night.
Ive tried everything; i sometimes eat way more to try and make it through but lately im eating 3 meals throughout the night encroaching on 2500 calories, yet that still only nets me about 3-4 hours of sleep.
Im honestly getting concerned that im on a fast route to diabetes and/or brain damage if this continues but i have no idea how to stop it and get some sleep. The symptoms are getting unbearable too- intense vivid nightmares, insane pain, unbearable adrenaline dumps, psychosis, headaches, nausea, dizziness, terrible mood swings, increased brain fog etc..
Like i said with just adrenal fatigue i could manage the hypoglycaemia but theres something else at play here because as soon as night hits its a living hell. Could it have something to do with damage or hypoperfusion to the pancreas or liver? Anyone been through this? Any suggestions? that would be very much appreciated
