Smile Question about symptoms...

Hey everyone. If this helps, I'm a 17 year old female. Diabetes does not run in my family, though my brother does sometimes have problems with his sugar level.

I'm a sucker for sweets. I've been known to eat half a box of cookies in one day. It's never bothered me. About two weeks ago, I was out shopping and started to feel faint. After I had something to eat and layed down for a while, I was fine. However, after that, whenever I would eat something with sugar, my head would spin for awhile.

Last week, I ate a brownie and my head was spinning. I had to go lay down until I was fine. A couple days later, I ate nothing with sugar... I had some fries, a soft pretzel, and some macaroni & cheese. That night, I took a bite out of a cookie and my head was spinning again. Since then, I have not eaten anything with large amounts of sugar. I've been pretty fine.

I checked for symptoms of diabetes on different websites. None of them say anything about getting dizzy from eating sugar, and I don't have any of the other symptoms listed.

Am I over reacting, or could this possibly be diabetes or a problem with my blood sugar? I'm getting it checked by a doctor soon, but in the meantime, I would like some input.

Thanks for reading!
