Bob-
No I've never been to an endocrinologist. My hypoglycemia was easily controlled by making sure I ate every four hours (sometimes I could squeak to five hours). By eating every four hours, sometimes even if I wasn't that hungry yet, I kept my blood sugar level.
On Remeron I've had to eat every 2.5 to three hours and am getting all the hypogly. symptoms by three hours.
Interestingly enough, I started taking chromium picolinate this Friday to help even out the blood sugars and it worked!!!!!!!! I was thrilled, until it started causing stomach distress. I have GERD, and spent a couple of days really not feeling well until I just figured out today it must be the chromium.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I thought I'd finally found a way to stay on this drug.
As far as exercise. Before Remeron my blood sugar was always helped by exercise. In other words, I could make it maybe an hour longer inbetween eating.
On Remeron, exercise seems to actually make it a little worse. Makes absolutely no sense to me!!
