[QUOTE="MrsGruffy, post: 1812955, member: 472571"] Hi Marcus, I know the rapid changes in your BG could be making you feel dizzy and experience other frightening symptoms, but those symptoms can also be symptoms of anxiety, which you may be having after you eat because of your fear of having to see the doctor. If you want to see if it might make a difference, when you feel those symptoms, you can try a grounding exercise. It's very easy, and not hard to remember or do. You put your feet flat on the floor and your hands on your table or desk or even on the arms of your armchair. Take 5 nice deep breaths first. Then while sitting, identify 3 things you can see. Take a few more breaths.. it's good if you can go in through your nose and out through your mouth, but it doesn't matter if you can't do it that way. Next identify 3 things you can hear. Take a couple more deep breaths and then close your eyes and identify 3 things you can smell. This is a very basic grounding technique I was once taught and it did wonders for me. I hope you can find a way forward. Do they have "telehealth" where you live? That's where you can use your computer to see and speak to a doctor. I wish you all the best. [/QUOTE]
