Glucose Crash
I had two episodes of relative hypoglycemia this weekend. I've been type 2 diabetic for 10 years, and only recently with the assistance of weight loss surgery did my doctor took me off medication.
On Friday, I had a bit too much to eat. Just vegetable and protein, no carbohydrate. I felt the overate effect for a couple of hours, and just continue to do what I did. 3 hours after that dinner, I started to feel extremely cold and other symptoms. I immediately did a glucose reading and it came back 73, which for me is very low (i'm usually range between 90 and 100). I ate a sugar free fudge bar and latte, and stabilize myself.
On Sunday, I have more soup than what I should. 2 hours later, slightly different symptom, hot flash. The glucose reading came back 78, also a bit low for me.
In my 10 years as diabetic, I can only recall one episode of hypoglycemia, and this weekend, I had two. I know, I shouldn't over eat. But it's odd that it only happens after them.
