[veritymoon]

my boyfriend keeps feeling sick after meals for the last couple of weeks. he keeps going really hot and sometimes dizzy after hes eaten. he works out at the gym a lot and i worry he could be overdoing it and his diet aint great hes a real pain to get to eat fruit and veg.
i would have dragged him to a doc by now if he would have told be before yesterday anyone any ideas?
hes 25.

i had the exact same problem a couple fo weeks ago and i actually passed out with it as well. I went to the doctors and he said that it was a virus didnt give me anything and just did the general checks which were ok. It frightened me and my hubby though. Still feel offish now but apparently its a virus. Hope this helps.

Hi,

What you describe could be a condition called reactive hypoglycaemia, (hypoglycaemia is low blood sugar)

Reactive hypoglycaemia is possibly the most common reason for hypoglycaemia in non-diabetics but is often overdiagnosed. This form of hypoglycaemia is probably caused by an overproduction of insulin from the pancreas after a large meal with a lot of carbohydrates. The insulin can still be detected even after several hours, although the level should be back to normal at this time. This condition is probably most common in overweight people and those with Type 2 diabetes, where the large demand for insulin can sometimes cause too much insulin to be produced in the pancreas. There is some evidence to suggest that reactive hypoglycaemia can precede Type 2 diabetes.
