Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose fatigue before eating, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "fatigue before eating" as a symptom. Here are two possibilities:

PMS C
Hypoglycemia

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

sugar/sweet craving

carbohydrate craving during cycle

indoor allergies

front-of-head headaches

unsound sleep

low energy/stamina

afternoon headaches

regular bizarre dreams

adverse reaction to delayed meals

very strong appetite

depression with some anxiety

numb/burning/tingling extremities

... and more than 20 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of fatigue before eating:

Cause	Probability	Status
Hypoglycemia	92%	Confirm
PMS C	52%	Possible

* This is a simple example to illustrate the process

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate being fatigued, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

When you are suffering from fatigue, do you feel better after eating?

Possible responses:

→ I don't suffer from fatigue / don't know
→ No, eating does not help reduce my fatigue
→ Yes, eating seems to reduce my fatigue a little
→ Yes, eating very definitely reduces my fatigue

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate fatigue not relieved by eating, fatigue slightly reduced by eating or fatigue definitely reduced by eating, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as:

Hypoglycemia

Premenstrual Syndrome PMS C (Craving)
