You are nto going to be diagnosed here. File a grievance with your local governing board/municipality and tell them your doctor is ignoring your concerns.

There isnt anything else that I can think of that can be done here.

All the best.
It would be nice if this were actually how national health coverage worked, but it isn't. Maybe in certain countries, but in most countries what you get is what you get. Actually the situation this guy is describing is more common than uncommon.

RiverJ- I understand the situation you are in, and I know that induction feels pretty good for some of us with hypoglycemia... Dr. Atkins does say that if you are experiencing hypoglycemia with this WOE you should up your carbohydrate intake. Moving up the rungs more quickly should not be a bad thing for you as long as you are getting most of your carbs from healthy sources and eating protein with every meal. Also nuts are pretty good source of healthy carbs that stabalize blood glucose levels.

Lastly, you need to change something. If you always do what you've always done, then you will always get what you've always gotten. The previous posters seem to have given good advice, and you might want to take their advice since you don't feel well, and don't have the option of good healthcare.
