Help! Dumping or Low Blood Sugar?

I am not sure what is going on with me this morning, but I am not feeling well.  I am lightheaded, dizzy, slightly nauseous and feel like I just want to curl up under my desk. I only had 7 grams of sugar for breakfast this morning so I am not sure what is going on.  Any ideas?

Could be a tummy bug. I had a coworker stay home yesterday because of it.

After it had lasted more than an hour I went down to the cafe and got some fresh fruit (2 pieces of pineapple, 1/4 strawberry and 1 piece honeydew melon).  It seems to be helping, my mind already feels better no more swimmy, lightheadedness.  Let's hope it was just a low blood sugar thing and not dumping cause with the sugar from the fruits I could end up doing it all over again.

Oh yes, I get at least 100 ounces in every day.  I knew it wasn't that as well because when it hit I was drinking CL.  I am feeling much better now after going and getting a few pieces of fresh fruit.  I was just so afraid to try eating something in case I was dumping I didn't want to make it worse, but I figured after it lasting for more than an hour and getting worse rather than better it must be low blood sugar.

Edi~Yup I had lots of protien this morning I believe around 14 or 15 grams.  My breakfast was 1/2 a Zone PErfect bar and a boiled egg (I ate the egg first).

Hi Nicole...I am glad you are feeling better now. If it continues
talk to your doctor about it. It could be that you are anemic and low on iron. That is what happened to me.

Hugs....connie d

Connie~Actually I just had my iron levels checked through my clinic last month and then the quick little test before giving blood yesterday and both came back as good.  Who knows maybe giving blood could have caused this to happen.  I am just glad I am feeling better now.
