i've messed up my low sugar diet, help me quickly

[misdee]

had a biscuit or 3 earlier

now i feel very lethargic and headachey.

wabt to sleep.

not diabetic, but am borderline, more tests next month. no medication or injections.

what do i do?

maybe do some exercise?

From what I recall during pg (when I have had some sugar issues), too much sugar makes you feel sick and thirsty. What you're describing sounds more like a sugar low.

Eat an apple and some plain oatcakes, have a drink of water and a rest.

Hope you feel better soon.

Drink some water (it works for me I have low blood sugar too) but don't gulp it down...that makes me light headed

so is it possible i've had a high then a sudden drop?

Sounds like it.

Make some biscuits with splenda and put them away for when you next have a craving.

Exactly.

That's why the apple - a smasll quick burst - and the oatcakes - a slower load to maintain the levelk of sugar.

Plain nuts are a good low-sugar snack. Though high fat - you can't win!

no oatcakes. got an apple, will make small bowl of porraige in a mo.

i knew mumsnetters would know

i usually have apple crisps not biscuits for my snacks, but have run out.

well i still feel a bit heady, but a lot better, at least my face isnt going to hit the keyboard as i fall asleep anymore.

that was bloody scary and weird, i am never doing that again!

Small frequent meals wld probably bebetter than waiting for supper today.

Glad you're feeling better. Remember to drink.
