I give up !!! and i give up the endo doc

I’m done with endo doctors and done with this hypoglycemia. Yes im frustrated beyond belief. This is what got me to this, I had to start a 36-hour fasting on Monday, which I did. Well on Wednesday morning about 6am my sugars went down to 48.The doctor said he wanted me to get blood drawn as soon as my sugar levels get to under 50.Of course the lab was closed so I had to call my insurance to see if I could go to the lab at the local hospital. By the time I got to the hospital 20 mins had past already. When I got there I tested to levels and they were back up in the 50’s.I called my doctor on call service as he said only if less than 50. Well I waited about 10 mins and never got a call back from the doctor he was even on call the day. By the time I actually got my blood drawn and with the waiting at the lab I was looking at maybe 1 hour later. Well I finally get a call back from the Endo doc telling me everything looks good you have nothing to worry about your levels are in the 70’s. Than his stupid A@# goes on to tell me that levels even at 48 are not that low that the heck is he going on about. Maybe his Endo doc but I don’t think he has any clue to how that makes you fill. He said just watch your diet and if you need to see me in the future just call, I was totally blown off. I’m tired of being out when my levels just drop so low that I have to pull over it interferes with my life and this doctor sounds like this is nothing. So at this point im going to give up with Doctors and just try to take care of myself. Sorry to vent but I just want to scream at this doctors its as if they’re looking at my lab paperwork and not listening to what I have to say.Unless im sitting at the lab for the 36 hours there never going to get blood at just the right time!!!

Julie I am so sorry!!!
