    When you faint because of fear, anxiety or stress, it isn't your blood sugar, it's vasovagal syncope and it's when your blood pressure drops rapidly. You probably think it's blood sugar cause you're accustomed to hypoglycemia and people have always acted all scared about your blood sugar dropping, but it's not. Just have something liquid to drink to keep your blood pressure up and try to relax. Don't worry, patients do it to Dentists all the time.

    Good answer Nette. To add to it a little. Simple sugars get your levels up quickly and without the side effects of complex sugars but follow it up with some protein to help even out and maintain your levels over a longer period of time. i.e. if you drink some OJ for a fast boost then eat a couple crackers with peanut butter shortly after. Of course this is all fine and well but remember that one incidence of hypoglycemia is not a sure thing that you have sugar or diabetic problems. Try and relax till you get more tests done. Stress only makes things worse and don't make any big changes in your diet or habits unless your doctor tells you to. Good luck!

    Eat something sweet before going to the dentist. That's what my doctor said.

    Spoonful of peanut butter, or sugar and then brush like crazy so the dentist doesn't yell.

    eat sweets on daily basis but have your blood sugar checked also on a regular basis because if your sugar will become abnormally high, you could have an acquired diabetes.

    if you tell the dentist your medical conditions he'll be prepared to deal with any situations including hypoglycemia... No need to worry....you can take some chocolates with you....
