My tummy WAS NOT happy with me this evening... I am not sure if it was reactive from supper (mostly dessert) or a low blood sugar episode... Let me explain:
We went to Golden Corral. I had a lot of great choices... baked chicken, tilapia, meat loaf, they had a huge salad bar with cut up chicken chunks, I had some green beans, carrots, corn. A few beans with onion. I had a bite of each these and then... the dessert bar.
Now I will just say, they do have a great variety of sugar free desserts. They have a special place on the bar, plus they are marked with blue spoons. I had some sf blueberry pie which I have never seen before, and some sf choc pudding.
Anyway, a few hours later (which makes me think it was not related to supper), I felt all shaky while at the Goodwill... NO It was not just excitement to find all those deals!!! LOL. I am not sure if it was sugar alcohols or just hypoglycemia and it was time to eat again... we ate early tonight... but I had to get something fast. I was feeling kinda nervous like I get when having "an episode". We were in Big Lots at this point... and I hollered to Tim, "we have to get something to eat." I was shaking by the time I opened up the ice cream sandwich we got at the checkout, and I hurried to eat about 1/4 of it, which is 5 sugars. I got home and got a protein supplement to keep it from dropping again. Yes I do realize that an ice cream sandwich is not the best thing to choose, but when you are in that desperate situation, you get whatever your hands can actually OPEN at that point or else you will crash fast... I carefully allotted out the 5 sugars to raise the blood sugar but not too high...
Now the thing is, I always carry a protein product (bar, nuts, etc) with me, but I did not have a single thing tonight... my purse was empty. You might know... I carry around a purse full of products ALL the time since about a month ago... and the one and only day I don't have it... boom! Here it comes... I don't think it was supper, because I did very well... unless the pie had a lot of carbs or sugar alchools... but that would have made me sick within the hour I think...
Susan? Any ideas? *Let me reiterate: I had a high protein supper, moderate carbs in the vegs... except for that dessert. No bread, no pasta, no potatoes.
