I know noone will be able to give me accurate medical diagnosis (and I have an appointment booked with my GP anyway) but I was just wondering if anyone has ever experienced low blood sugar?
I had a very strange 'turn' in work yesterday and it has been suggested to me that it may have been caused by a dip in blood sugar.
I was dizzy, light-headed, clammy, my heart was racing, my face was kinda tingly and I felt like I was going to faint. It lasted for about an hour - although the majority of symptoms went after I drank a cup of tea with lots of sugar in it.
I have experienced similar in the past but not to the extreme that this was.
Any thoughts?
Were you under any pressure at the time? Also sounds similar to a panic attack.
Mr Fun feels like that if he goes for too long without eating ... a choccy bar usually sorts it out. (Wish I had that excuse for eating chocolate) lol
Sounds like the symptoms of Hypoglycaemia which is low blood sugar. Most common when you haven't eating anything for a while and very common for those who don't eat breakfast of some sort! How late in the day did it happen and when did you last eat something before it happened?
I wouldn't discount a low blood sugar moment. I have gone hypo 20 minutes after eating a big meal, although I am a type 1 diabetic but hadn't overdosed on my insulin. Regradless, I would still go and get it checked out at your GP.
I'm type 2 diabetic and if I'm not disciplined about my eating frequency and diet I get low sugar moments . They hit me from nowhere ...one minute fine, the next I feel like somethings sucked the life out of me , I feel nauseous and very weak and lack confidence in my balance sometimes with sweating and just want to lie down . within 20 minutes of eating something I am fine. These moments aren't just brought on by lack of food though they can be brought on by Physical exertion too.
