You don't have: Hypoglycemia, just insulin resistance. Symptoms include nervousness, sweating, hunger, anxiety, blurred vision, fatigue, fast heart rate, etc. -- however unless you have diabetes and are on Insulin or other medication, have renal or liver disease, cancer or prior stomach surgery -- then true hypoglycemia never occurs in human beings. If it a very frequently and incorrectly made diagnosis.

Is this quote accurate? "Sometimes the excessive collection of acid in the stomach will cause people to misinterpret the symptoms as hypoglycemia, excessive stomach acid will make the person shaky, weak, hungry and nauseated, until they eat again."
If I don't eat, I feel very weak and shaky, and many times get headaches. Even if I miss one meal, this often happens. Is this hypoglycemia?
