Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Hi Everyone. I had another hypoglycemic attack last night. I've had these from time to time since surgery last April, and have been trying to figure out what triggers the episode. I was thinking that not eating enough protein at a snack or meal is what's triggering the attack. So I'm being more careful about that, and last night I had some cheese and yogurt, but I ate the yogurt a little too fast and had a small dump from the sugar, which is normal for me. However, about an hour later, I started feeling really shaky and sweaty and ate a granola bar to get my sugar levels back up. It took some time for the attack to end, and I was REALLY sweaty when it was over. The strange part is that I still feel bad today. Shaky, hot and cold at the same time, nauseous. My doctor says that it's residual from the episode last night, and will take about 24 hours before I start feeling better. She said this can happen, when your blood sugar drops very low. I've been instructed to eat high protein foods slowly today and I should start feeling better by this afternoon. Is this happening to anyone else? What triggers your attacks? What do you eat to stop the attack? Thanks for your help. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
