There are so many reasons you could be feeling off, including that which you suggest. So, I would suggest you chalk this one up to experience, for now. You could try something else to eat, but try not to go overboard. Heading for pizza, pasta, chips or whatever has the potential to just start you on a revolving door of binge/reactive eating. I feel rubbish, therefore, I binge, therefore I feel rubbish, and so on it goes. Go gently.I'm feeling a bit rubbish just now. Tested two hours after lunch and my BG was 5.8. I had a few blueberries and some sliced meats to see if that picks me up a bit as I was hungry too. Feeling even more headachey, clammy and anxious now so tested and got 6.5. Are these figures not within the acceptable level? Have I come down too quickly from the numbers my body is used to?
I am assuming you are recording all your blood scores and everything you are eating and drinking? If so, this gives you the data to review should you have another episode like this one. It could indicate not eating enough (calories), or a particular food causing issues, or, in my case, it was coffee. Stronger coffee now makes me feel rubbish, whereas before I could tolerate that before.
It's early days and with diabetes not everything has a clear reason; and particularly not this early in your journey. It's a case of test, record, review and amend where necessary. Most of us have made changes incrementally over a period of month. If only it was simple.........
