Just experienced one of the...

Scariest "episodes"...I went on a close to 5 mile walk this morning. I

got home and began to take a shower when all of a sudden the room started spinning and everything got quiet and blurred...I have NEVER experienced this feeling before. I hopped out the shower to call 911 but couldn't find my phone...all I could think to do next was to eat something (and pray)...well I went for a piece of string cheese but couldn't get the wrapper off...I thought I was dying because I became so weak that I fell to the floor. Thank GOD that I was still able to think a bit because where I fell was a case of my Protein drinks!!!! I was able to open and guzzle some down...I instantly started feeling better. I can only assume that my blood sugar had dropped from exercising on an empty stomach. Calling my nurse, tho, cuz I don't E V E R...never ever never want to feel that way again!

Sounds like either dehydration or your blood sugar dropped massively. Am going with blood sugars.

Thanks for sharing / posting this.

I am a type II diabetic and this sounds like low blood sugar levels. When ever my sugar levels go too high, my doctor told me to exercise to bring it down. Which usually helped.

Before exercising eat something with Protein (piece of cheese), this should help. In addition, keep something with you when you are out walking (beef Jerky works well) just in case. I hope this helps. Good luck

Yeah, I am also Type 2...I will most definitely take your advice Kltklass...That was very scary!

Hi Faye. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. I was experiencing the same symptoms after exercising because I would exercise on an empty stomach (early morning). Now I drink a cup of milk before I exercise which gives me a lil Protein and carbs all at the same time. I wish you all the best ????
