I am just venting

So it's happened at last twice this week that Joel has gotten dizzy and lightheaded and it's clearly because he's having low blood sugar. But he refuses to let the doctor do any blood work or test. I know he's a grown man and there is not much I can do to make him get the test done! It's just very frustrating and I don't know why he won't let them run blood work. He hasn't done any tests in years.

I remember the first incident at the movies .. and he hadn't eaten lunch. On the second incident, had he not eaten as well?

@Coralmist yes the second time it happened was the day we were unpacking all day. I don't think he ate much. This Tuesday we both fell asleep and didn't eat dinner. I heard from his co worker that he got dizzy early that morning. So I know it's from him not eating and his BS is crashing. I thought about being really bad and asking his ex wife about it, but I know he'd get mad if I did that.

@Cigarguy101 It Def sounds like he had not enough to eat. And a low blood sugar. Diabetes would be high blood sugars. Remind him if he has too light a meal, to carry some Swedish fish on him or candies.

@Coralmist yeah all these things definitely happen the day he missed a meal or didn't eat enough. I'm thinking it might be hypoglycemia.
