Well today I feel like crap, I woke up
really early to start, probaly only got 5
hrs sleep. Had breakfast and I was
feeling ok then went into university to do
some assignments with friends then after
about an hour I crashed pretty bad. Felt
really dizzy blurred vision, and slow
reactions, these were all my symptoms I
had months ago.
I was feeling bad yestersday afternoon
too.
I have been following the diet pretty
well, and have been on it for about 4 and
a half months now so I thought it would be
ok to have a few beers. I only had 3
beers on saturday night. So I guess im
feeling bad becasue of this? And why
does it affect you a few days after? And
not the next morning?
Ive got to go back into university tonight
damnnit to finish my work hopefully i'll
pick up a bit.
Any tips of what I can do if im having a
crash at uni? Can I take some orange
juice? Just a litle to keep me going?
Iv'e heard mixed opinions on this. Some
people say no others yes and I was just
reading a book were it stated to drink a
cup of orange juice for hypoglycemics in
the morning to start your day off good.
Thanks

Just spend the night at uni doing
asignments, the whole time my head felt
really tight, and I had this weird feeling
coming and going in my head, a symptom
that ive never had before. And I still
have the large amount of underarm sweat
but the weird smell has gone.
All these symptoms are pretty new im just
worried about this new tightness of the
head symptom, it can just come and go,
feels differnt to the passing out
symptom.
Anyone else experience this.
I need to get better I have the busiest 4
weeks coming up with about 10-12 hrs of
uni a day
thanks in advance this site is awesome

Silly man, didn't I tell you this before?
See, this is what usually happens. A
hypoglycemic starts to feel better, and
then they think everything is fine and
they overdo what they should only be
trying in moderation. If you were even
thinking about that, you should have had
only a little beer, seriously no more than
a shot glass, and then waited up to four
days to see if anything happened. Yes,
it can take this long for a reaction.
I'm not sure why. All I can think of is
this. Typically, whatever you eat and
drink takes about four days total to be
completely out of your system. For some
reason, after the initial digestion, in
hypoglycemics problem foods start a chain
reaction that can take a day or so to kick
in. I had this happen to me several
times. I remember before I even knew
that I had it that this one day a friend
of mine convinced me to eat some chinese
food. Four days later some symptoms had
returned. You need to stay on your diet
now and don't falter. Stick with it
religiously for a week or so. I do not
suggest juice. Some people say it works,
but even so you have to cut it with equal
or more water. Don't drink it straight
and never on an empty stomach. The next
time you want to test something, please do
it as I stated, don't do this again! Is
this the second or third time I told you
this?

Hi,
that's exactly one of my symptoms - that
tightness in my head, it's so strange. I
didn't have it for years then it started
again.
It is so true that you really have to be
careful or you can have a setback.
Sometimes there isn't even a reason that
you can see, and you'll have a bad
spell.
Hope you feel better.

Haha yeha I no stan, im an idot im only
young once so I try and enjoy it and I
seriously thought a few beers wouldnt
hurt. But now I learn im wrong. Yeah
this is probaly my 3rd time doing this,
haha im a slow learner but another time I
drank about 8 beers and was fine so I dont
understand why 3 beers would hurt me. Im
usually perfect on this diet, but it seems
to take forever to get anywere, when im on
the diet im always having some symptom or
another its so hard to get motivated
because some symptom is always around.
Right now I have been sweating so much its
crazy, going through 2 shirts and there
still wet, but at least the smell has
gone.
Today I feel better so I guess all the
crap from the beer has left my system.
Hmm looks like i'll have to be super
strict for a few weeks again and see how
it goes, its just impossible to find the
right foods to take with me

It is hard, I know, and the symptom thing
is annoying at first, but as you go on
you'll see they slowly go away. Based on
what you say I believe you may be in stage
three, where it almost feels like nothing
is happening and progress is so slow you
hardly notice it.

Ah ok, so how many stages are there to
beat. I can see I am making some
progress, so i'll just keep sticking with
it and hopefully get better

Like four in all. The first totally
sucks, the second invovles rapid, violent
swings in mood and energy, the third is a
permanent feeling that seems to never go
away and you almost feel like you're not
getting better, and the fourth is a
continuous level of health.

One other thing I would like to say, when
I used to drink a few beers, like last yr
before I relaised I had hypoglycemia, I
felt the crash within an hour or 2. Now
liked ive experiened I experience the
crash a few days later.
What does this indicate
