An odd thing happened to me today. I have been hypoglycemic for years (I am 52, female) and I woke up this morning feeling very weak and totally out of sorts. Around noon I felt worse, very weak and my legs burned and hurt. I had to lay down and thought my blood sugar must have been extremely low to feel so bad. But, upon checking it I found it was 289! I had not eaten anything different - in fact had a salad and diet soda for lunch about 1 hour before the spike.
It went from 289 to 240 in about 15 minutes. It continued to slowly lower and about 2 hours later it was 79.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? I have never felt so sick and weak. Thank you - S.
