Hi my name is Lindsay and on Saturday I had a bit of a scare.
I had eaten two pieces of meatloaf with ketchup, 2 potatoes with butter and salt and some soy milk before heading to the movies.
Near the end of the movie I was feeling dizzy and sick with a bit of a headache, when I walked into the bathroom I looked pretty pale. We went back to my dads house, as soon as I said I felt dizzy my stepmom forced me to take a blood sugar test. (She has diabetes so she has one of those testing kits and a blood pressure machine.)
And my dad forced me to take my blood pressure
blood presure was high with a high pulse, but my sugar level was down to 4.3, three hours after eating.
I was feeling shakey and sick. They forced me to eat a chocolate bar to keep things from going down further.
Everytime I had a fasting blood sugar test, it's always come out around 5. But I've always had my suspicions since I was young.
Everytime I feel sick, I don't feel like eating even I have to force myself at times just to do so even if its a little bit. I've always suspected my blood sugar level was dropping at that point. So I'm here to learn more about this.
