Hi Doug, Have you been given a glucose tolerance test? If so, and if it was normal, I don’t think you’re dealing with a blood sugar problem. A friend of mine has blood sugar problems and follows the diet you mentioned, but his attacks are not very much like panic attacks; there is weakness and shaking and dizziness, but not the overwhelming fear we encounter with panic attacks. Have you been tested for thyroid hormone? Best Wishes, Arthur
