I agree with Minda on the type of calories etc you are eating. You need more longer lasting foods.
Glad to hear all your blood tests are ok! Good luck and hope you get the result you want from the test!

You list quite a lot of sugary foods and although they give you instant energy, as you may well know this then makes your body produce insulin which subsequently results in a sharp energy drop which would result in the dizziness and hunger pangs you describe. You might want to think about getting fewer calories from sugary carbohydrates and more calories from slow-release energy foods such as bananas, oats, sweet potatoes (and eggs I think, but not too sure about this one).
do you have sugar in your tea?
is the bread wholemeal?

How long after missing my period would a test say I was pregnant (If I was)
I always waited till my period was two weeks overdue before doing the tests. Even a negative test can be a positive result - just means there is not enough of that hormone (forgot what its called) present.

Apart from natural sugars in fruit etc.
I don't add sugar to anything - not in tea, and I don't eat any sweets - never have done.
If you saw the size of my portions of meals you wouldn't say I wasn't eating a lot - I eat more than Kev
Sometimes we have wholemeal bread, sometimes not - depends whats on offer in the supermarket (short on money!)
And i'm certainly not active
I sit on front of my computer all day! lol
How about the losing weight part though?

As for the weight loss I honestly don't know, and if your eating habits haven't changed recently but your weight has then I would definitely let your doctor know about it.

On reading your posts my first thought was " ohh she's pregnant"
My OH is type 1 diabetic and does not "recognise" the symptoms you have mentioned, as typically diabetic, the pancreas is a very clever organ and can dispatch exactly the right amount of insulin for the sugar you have taken in , meaning that you would not get "peaks and troughs " in your blood sugar level.. ie Hypo's or Hyper's...if your pancreas was working properly.
How often do you have your oncolgy reviews.. would it be worth mentioning your concerns to your consultant?... If your review is a few months away...does your local chemist offer any testing... I know that our local Lloyds pharmacy does both Diabeties testing and pregnancy tests
perhaps you could try both???

I have my oncology review is every 6 months, the last one was in March.
But i'm under the hospital for something else too, so i'm going about that sooner!
So will mention it to the doctor there.
