Low blood sugar !!

Nurses Stress 101

Published

So i'm one of those people whose blood sugar gets really low and I start to faint or feel really weak or mellow.. cold hands etc in the beginning.

I don't take insulin or anything to precipitate the problem but every 3 hours I get this way unless I get a quick sugary fix.. but I always end up crashing right after!

Does anyone else have this problem and if so ... how do you deal with it?

Oh haha, I wasn't asking for a diagnosis. I know tons of people who have this issue. I just wanted to know how other people handle it: soda, crackers.. etc

But thanks for the good wishes:)

You need to check with your PCP to see what could be the problem. May be totally unrelated to blood sugar. You never know. Good luck.
