I was wondering why?!
Question: I went to my Dr. last Thursday and told him that I think I have low blood sugar or had a spell. I told him that around 3:30 in the afternoon I felt really shakey and my vision was blurred and I was really scared, anyhow I was smart enough to drink a glass of orange juice and within 5-10 mins I felt better. So I was telling the Dr. this and he said Ok we'll take some tests. So I went to get my glucose, thyroid, hemoglobin and other things checked that day at the lab. I haven't heard any news back from him and it has been a week. Also, I have not been diagnosed with diabetes. He thinks I'm having anxiety attacks but I beleive its low blood sugar. Would the tests come back letting him know if there was a problem with my blood sugar.

If you haven't heard, it's either because the results aren't done yet, he hasn't seen them yet, or he hasn't been able to call you yet. You can always call the office and inquire. If these spells are due to low sugar, it will only show up if you have low sugar at the time of the blood draw. You can always get a cheap glucometer at walmart/walgreens/etc. and check your sugar when you have a spell to get a definitive answer.
absolutely. He couldn't miss it
call the office and ask about your tests
In order for your doctor to get a baseline of what your body is doing, you will have to monitor your blood sugar daily. If you were able to bring your body back from that state with a glass of orange juice, I doubt its diabetes or anything like that. If you're not taking an iron supplement, I would definitely suggest it. especially after a menstural cycle.
