Medical question, esp. for a nurse...

okay, i know it sounds weird, but i noticed when i check my blood sugar that the skin on my fingers doesn't bounce back down right away... it just kind of stays there, then slowly goes back into it shape. i have super dry skin, to the point where it breaks open and it looks like i have a dozen paper cuts on my fingers, and they heal very slowly (a couple of weeks or so). also, i have had a headache every day for about two months now. i have stopped caffeine and it didn't make a difference. Doc (PCP) does not seem concerned, but combined with hypoglycemia lately (typically in the 50's every night- and i used to be hyperglycemic). i wonder what is going on. i feel like a nut job going in to the clinic all the time. lastly, i have had a sometimes sharp, most mostly dull pain in my left side (i had a hernia repair there about 2 months ago). has anyone else had this combination of things, or is a nurse who could help? thanks a lot! -shelli (post-op 6 months, -82 pounds, #182)
