Hello,
I'm looking for some advice.
This is the 2nd time I've had a problem after an evening out.
I'm Type II, have been eating low carb over two years and don't take meds anymore as came out of diabetic readings (whatever it is called).
Last night I went to a party. I drank water all evening. Everyone else ate there but I ate before I went out (a bit earlier than usual). I felt really hungry late evening but ignored it. Became cold (as outside all evening) and shivvering with cold on way home. Had a cup of tea with milk when got home and ate some low ish sugar biscuits (about 6g of carbs if I remember correctly off top of head). Don't usually do that. Felt fine, warmed out and went to bed. Got up became increasingly nauseas as the morning has gone on. I don't usually eat until 11am as I usually intermittent fast after last meal and don't eat until 11am (or 12pm). Obviously last night I ate some biscuits.
I was thinking the nausea was related to the sore throat I've been getting on and off for a few days but then I got a headache so thought I'd better test my blood (which I hardly ever do). It was 8.9 about 10:45am. Hadn't had a drink so having a cup of tea and some salty peanuts as I've no idea if I should eat something sweet or just a bit carby and salty. Any thoughts?
Also I went clubbing about a month ago, danced my heart out the entire night and stopped about 2.30am as I felt so extremely dizzy I thought I would faint. As I've never had a diabetic low or danced all night since getting type II I didn't realise it was diabetes. I felt so ill I thought someone had spiked my water (doh!). Next morning I woke up with the headache from hell and finally twigged it was diabetes related.
Just telling you the dancing night one for info, but really I would like the answer to the this morning's problem. I'm starting to feel less nauseas (not completely) but headache still here. Do I eat a biscuit ? I've no idea what to do in this situation. I don't have bread in the house etc as I'm low carb and coeliac.
Thoughts please? I realise I've got some learning to do so I don't end up like this again. I'm due to go out to an all day and evening event this week, so advice please. (Taking my own food though).
Apologies for my ignorance but I'm willing to learn.
