I get real shakey in the morning

For the last week or so when I wake up in the morning I get really shakey. I probably misspelled that forgive me but it looks right. Anyway it feels like how I used to when I was at work and wouldn't eat all day and just had coffee. It goes away after an hour or two, but I have to say its not enjoyable. Any suggestions?

Going to get labs drawn today so well see what those say.

Also I just made a delicious protein shake with 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, scoop of vanilla protein, orange juice (trop 50**** cubes and sugar free raspberry syrup.

probably low blood sugar.  Does it go away when you eat? Try eating a high protein snack right before bed.

I agree with Kelly. I get the same thing early in the morning when I go to work and stop for my usual cup of coffee. If I don't eat soon enough I will start to get the shakes. Once I eat I'm usually good. If I don't have the coffee, it's not as bad. I think that the caffeine has a little to do with it too or perhaps the degree of shakes. If you have a blood sugar tester, test your blood sugar sometime when you are shaky and see where it's at. It's probably not worth buying one for just this purpose unless it continues, but the testers are relatively cheap, but the test strips are the expensive part.

It does seem to go away after I eat. I finished my protein shake about half an hour ago and I feel fine now.

I was like that for a while - when worked for me was to have first thing am -1 tsp of NSA PB - even in bed. Before getting up. r just after I was up.

Now - I make sure I eat some LNS just before bed (nuts, nut butter, or cheese) and avoid carbs late in the evening..  

I have that problem, too.  It is low blood sugar (in may case, anyway, so I assume in your case as well).  I always have a small snack of a combination of protein, fat, and carbs right before bed, and that eliminates the problem.  Half a container of yogurt works well (but low fat yogurt works better than no fat yogurt).  Most nights, though, rather than eating anything I just drink a glass of 2% milk (since I take my Synthroid before bed I have to drink something anyway).

I have hypoglycemia (regular, not reactive), and I am not sure why but having the triad of carbs, protein, and some fat works MUCH better than just a carb and protein combination.  (Even 2% milk works better than 1% milk.) Maybe someone else (Hala? Kelly??) can explain why the fat component matters.

i still need to have something very small to eat soon after I get up, but even having two or three bites of yogurt or half a cup of milk is enough to keep me stable until my real breakfast in an hour or two.

Fat slows digestion. The carbs help increase the BG, the protein and fat keep it from rising too high too fast, and helps prevent the post spike crash.

I was waking up with severe migraines.  Dr. said I needed a snack before bed.  Worked like a charm.  I also increased my fluids at night.

Good point about the extra fluids at night.  I would almost bet that the extra fluid is part of the reason that milk right before bed seems to work so well for me.

Thanks y'all, ill deffinetly try the snack and more fliuids before bed. I have been real bad about only eating 3 times a day and not getting enough protein or fluids. Trying to get 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks in a day now.
