Hey guys,
I'm stumped. Maybe you know what's going on with me. Today was another weird one. I could accept that the heat from a couple of weeks ago caused a hypo, as circumstances were extreme, but today.... The weather was normal to cool. And I think my sugar should've been relatively high. So here are the things to consider:
I'm eating keto, 10 to 20 grams of carbs a day. Currently I'm suffering from hormonal migraines, meaning I'm on my period and using sumatriptan and paracetamol to keep the migraines under control. I've barely slept these past two, three nights due to the pain by my eye, usually meaning my liver keeps dumping me into sixes by noon if I fast. Today was very stressful, though it was a good kind of stress. (Doing a photoshoot for an aquaintance, but I'm people-phobic and extremely terrified of failing when expectations are high).
Normally, things that make you go higher, rather than lower, right?
I started trembling later this afternoon, after the shoot. We went to a zoo after the photoshoot, where my knees turned to rubber, and I freaked so badly due to getting stuck in a large, noisy and claustrophobia inducing crowd (bottleneck), that I actually started to weep. I'm 39! But I felt like a raw nerve, and got a panic attack like I haven't had them in months. Anyway.... I ate a soup with some carbs in, though I have no way of telling how many, and the trebling subsided a little, but it became worse again in about half an hour. I ate again, this time a sausage with a carby/sweet sauce and caramelised onions, made my way home, and finally got to my meter, which I'd left on the table because I didn't think I'd need it. Duh. I was at 4.2, but considering what I'd eaten an hour before I should've been in the upper sixes.... So I must have been quite low. Also considering the uncontrollable shaking, which I've only had when hitting the lower three's before.
Does anyone have any idea what might be up with all this? Because it was quite scary. I finally felt confident enough not to be glued to my meter and testing all the time, fingers finally healing, and now I'm kinda back to square one. I did do a lot of walking today, but that too probably should've pushed my numbers up rather than down. I dunno. Maybe you do? Thanks in advance!
