visitors

My parents have been visiting the last few days which is why I haven't had time to update my blog. My father also suffers from low blood sugar and was wondering how he could lose weight and keep his blood sugar up. I suggested he cut out his saturated fats but continued with the complex carb intake and took more exercise. He said that when he exercises he has more energy and it doesn't seem to drop afterwards, which is totally the opposite to how I feel. My hypoglycemia gives me a big drop of energy after a busy day.

Much more energy today

Well I feel full of energy today. I wonder if it is the walking to school that is making me feel tired, as today I haven't walked much at all and I didn't have the afternoon drop in energy that I experienced last week. Hopefully I will get used to the walk soon and it will stop happenning.

Mid Afternoon Crash

This week I have been really feeling tired in the mid afternoon when I've been picking up my daughter from school. I have recovered now as I haven't stopping eating since dinner tonight. Obviously it is related to my blood sugar and I think I sould eat more through the day, but I don't want to start putting on lots of weight either.

Going to try hard again

I have just finished off the last of my sugary foods (appart from some chocolate that I will give away). I have decided to start to try really hard again with my diet to see if it makes me feel any better, as I have been feeling so run down at the moment.

Controlling Blood Sugar in School

My daughter has started her new term at school and came out today in a terrible mood as her blood sugar was so low. I am running out of ideas of things to put in her lunch box to keep her filled up from lunchtime until the end of the day. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Panic Attacks

I have noticed recently that I have been getting panic attacks from time to time. This isn't something new (although does seem to be happening with more frequency) but I haven't recognised them as panic attacks before. I found a great site relating hypoglycemia and panic attacks earlier that others might be interested in reading:

The problem with writing this blog

The problem with writing this blog is that when my blood sugar is low I can't be bothered to do it, and when my blood sugar is high I have nothing to say.
