Wow - I feel awful all of sudden

I was having a great day - took a little nap earlier this evening - woke up and was sitting on the couch when all of sudden out of no where I had the feeling of shaky, weak legs, shaky arms.  I thought this is weird, why is my blood sugar dropping just sitting here.  I carefully got up - definitely having jello legs and all - went to the kitchen to get something to eat/drink.  Gathered some grapes, chips (spilling as many as I actually got in the little bowl) and poured myself (and the counter) some powerade zero.  Got back to the couch, ate some, drank some.  Don't feel as shaky but now have a horrible headache stating and also am feeling nauseous - have also had a couple moments of getting really warm.

What is going on?  Why am I feeling like this?

Sounds like a low blood sugar episode.  Do you have a monitor?  If you don't, it may be a good idea to have one at home so that you can check your blood sugar during an episode.  That way you would know for sure if that is the culprit or not.  With low blood sugar, juice would be better that powerade zero.  Drink the juice first--only need 4 ounces--then eat something.  If you get these episodes often, it may be a good idea to have glucose tabs with you.  You can get those at any drugstore.  Hope you are feeling better soon!

That's one of the types of dumps I do.  And it doesn't have to be something I ate that day either.  It just comes out of the blue.  Sometimes I eat peanut butter with some milk, other times it takes a ton of water, other times a power bar. 

Just keep up on your fluids and hopefully it will pass soon.  but if it happens a lot, get the butt to the doctor and maybe get a monitor so when it happens you can actually test your blood sugar to see if that is what it is.

Hi Teri....love you avatar!!

It sounds like dumping to me.....but then that is what used to happen to me when I was diabetic...low blood sugar! If it happens more I would call your doctor and run it by them.

Hey Hon!  MISS you!  Hope you are feeling better and maybe just call our clinic and talk to them, it might help or they might have suggetions!
HUGS!

Thank you all for your concern and suggestions!  I am feeling better this morning - woke up with the headache and still have it - thinking I may be dehydrated so am trying to work on getting more fluids in.

Again, thanks for taking the time to share your suggestions!

Are you feeling better today?

BTW - you need a new avatar girl - this looks NOTHING like you anymore!  You look much more amazing now than ever before!!!
