The Shakes...

Do you have a monitor to check you blood sugar?  I was diabetic before surgery.  I was on 3 injections and 12 pills a day.  Now I have to be careful because my counts go into the 30's and 40's.  If you are working out more you are going to have to up your calories.  When I work out I crash.  I have to eat a little something before I work out and something after.  It is usually a protein bar or protein shake or peanut butter and crackers.  That helps me alot.  But there are times it just catches me off guard.  I start getting really jittery and I have to just eat something that is there.  I may have a cookie if that is all I have around me.  I just have to do something to stop the sugar from dropping.  I will have to watch my periods.  I don't know if it gets worse during that time or not. 

I hope things get better for you.

Thanks Teena,
I don't have a monitor. I've blown it off in the past...but after yesterday's episode in the middle of walmart, it's got me a bit freaked out  :-(

I notice my periods trigger a lot of things (depression, suicide, etc). So it wouldn't surprise me if it effects this too  :-(

Oddly, it's in the middle of the day when I'm sitting at work...during working out, I feel great. I dont' get it sometimes.

Although everyone's suggestion so peanut butter has me craving it right now  :-)

Thanks Teena  :-)

Hugs,

Jes - I had a similar story and what worked for me was to eat smaller, more frequent meals which has allowed my blood sugar to stabilize.  Also, I have to watch the processed carbs and be sure they are balanced with high levels of protein.

When I do the right thing :)   It works.  

Just a few thoughts - hope this helps.

Thanks  :-)

I guess i need to get back to eating the right foods.
Since money has been tight lately, it's harder to buy the good foods  :-(

Thanks again,
Jessica
