Just a few minutes ago I was experiencing a bout of hypoglycemia. I was nauseated, sweating, having palpitations, my hands were shaking, and I had an extreme craving for sugar or anything sweet. I’ve been a very bad girl for the past few minutes to resolve this issue…I ate almost an entire pack of chocolate biscuits, some liquorice sweets, and I had to run down to the shop at this hour (10:30pm) for a big tub of London Dairy Double Chocolate. That sort of did the trick, although I’m still feeling slightly dehydrated now.
I find this whole ordeal very weird. I’ve been munching on sugar all the way home. I had a bar of chocolate, three French nougat bars and a bottle of chrysanthemum tea with sugar. I did skip dinner though.
I’m trying to read more about the causes of hypoglycemia and it says that the pre-diabetes stage could be the answer. Wouldn’t that really suck if I developed diabetes? I have a very sweet tooth. I don’t think I could live a day without sugar. There is a history of diabetes type 2 in my family: my grandmother had it and couldn’t have any sugar at all, my grandfather had it too, but my mum only had it when she was pregnant with my elder brother so she was advised to maintain her sugar levels. Basically, it could have developed into full-fledged diabetes type 2 but thankfully it was only a temporary condition. She was in her late 20s at the time.
I am in my late 20s. It would really suck if somehow, I ended up with some form of diabetes. That would be both lifestyle and life-threatening.
There is a difference between someone who was born diabetic and someone who acquired it. The person who was born diabetic doesn’t see it as a loss because their lifestyle remains constant. On the other hand, the person who somehow develops the disease later in life has to change their lifestyle and they end up reminiscing the ‘better’ times.
I now have to think about the calories I’ve put on after all the ‘junk food’.
