I don't know if this is low blood sugar or not, seeing a dr about a few things later this week so will be discussing it then just want to find out if there's anything practical I can do in the meantime or any info I can go armed with would be good.
I get a real sudden need to eat and the only thing that gets rid of that feeling is sweets, chocolate or a fizzy drink. I'm making a conscious effort to eat before I get hungry to try and stop this, but it's still not working. I've had a bit of a snack before picking ds2 up from nursery this morning and then had lunch as soon as I got home, but even while I was eating my lunch I could feel it coming on. I suddenly feel really sick, get a 'hot flush' I shake, it's so bad that I can't hold something still, for example I've just had a mars bar but had to get dp to open it for me as my hands were shaking too much. I feel like I feel quite clammy and my vision is a little blurred.
Is this something to do with gestational diabetes? (diabetes can be high or low sugar can't it?). Or something less sinister. It's quite scary the sudden intensity of it.
