Vision Blackout

So, today I am driving along, having just left the clinic where I work. I am headed up tot the library at school. I ate a small protein bar 7 grams sugar. Out of nowhere I suddenly think, "Crap, I don't feel well." but, I am 26 weeks with twins and I usually don't feel well, especially after I eat. Then I felt this whooshing feeling in my head and my vision started to black out on the edges. No joke. It was freaky. Nothing like that has ever happened to me. I had to pull over and wait about 20 minutes, and I still felt crappy and shaky. I came home. I do have an apppt. with the Dr. now for this aftenroon. My head still feels funny and my vision is lightly blurry, even after taking a nap. Has this happened to anyone? I am scheduled for the 2 hour test next week, but I feel like crap today! Any advice before I head to the Dr. would be great.

I've had the black out at the edges of my vision when I have a migraine coming on. Did your head  hurt at all?

No- It really felt like a sugar thing. I got hot and sweaty, which is what I do when I dump on sugar- it was similar to that but much worse. And it was too little an amount to make me dump- I never have problems with anything under about 20 grams. Thanks for the input though.

I just wonder if now that you're pregnant, and you eat anything with sugar in it, if you're not having some reactive hypoglycemia? It kind of does sound like a sugar thing. Let us know if you find out something. I hope you feel better! That would scare the fire out of me!
