I get a weird breathless, rapid heart rate, adrenaline rush type feeling? And always tends to be when I’ve eaten fatty foods and my levels don’t start to rise for hours afterwards!
I feel horrible when they rise fast. My issue is hot showers. I can go up 3 mmol (50 mg) in 15-30 minutes and I will feel dizzy, tired weak. Yet the same number when I have climbed slowly doesn't bother me. So I only take lukewarm showers now and that pretty much stops the huge spike. Most people drop with a hot shower. Not me!

Oddly, i find hot showers & baths either don't affect me or lower my BG. Heat makes me more insulin sensitive?
Now strangely you do mention "50 points?" which is Md/gl?? (In metric.?)
So i can rise about as much 2.5 Mmol. After a shower, but only during the manic routine of prep for work in the morning?
Foot on the floor liver dump stuff? But then i tend not to panic if i wake on a 5 & i'm in the mid 7s before setting off to work..
I don't even do breakfast.. (Just can't face it, till late morning.)
