Low blood sugar???

Question

Okay so yesterday I passed out at Michaels (the craft store) while buying things for my gender reveal party. Lately I've been getting the shakes in my hands and dizziness. 
It's really hard to keep sugar in my body. My baby enjoys potatoes and chili and mozzarella sticks. She doesn't like sugary things other than frappés (and I don't drink them often). My blood pressure was a little low the other day too. 
My little girl is trying to kill me 😩😂💕

Answer

you need to add some proteins and the right kinds of fats like cheese or milk to each meal. while carbs are great to get your sugar up you need something to help it process slowly so you dont have a sugar crash afterwards..... also, look into the Glucerna diabetic drinks.... I use them between meals as a snack... it dosent have a ton of carbs to spike your sugar too high but it does have the right kind of carbs to keep it high enough to get you to your next meal without crashing...

Answer

Milk and orange juice is really good for that, I have low blood sugar before getting pregnant and I drink milk or orange juice when I start to feel shaky.. also it could be from your blood pressure being low that made you pass out, that’s what happened to me, and I went down shaking to the ground(my husband caught me and took me down) and they just gave me fluids because that’s helps, so push lots and lots of water, to help with that..

How do you know it was from low blood sugar? Did someone take your sugar or are you just assuming? Sugar is in all kinds of food, its in your potatoes and mozzarella sticks. There are carbs in almost everything. Unless you aren't eating at all I'd go get checked out, low blood sugar doesn't just cause you to pass out. When mine is low I literally feel like I'm going to die. That's the only way to explain it. And it would have to be low enough for you to go into a hypoglycemic coma to knock you out which is hospitalization low. You may have just been dehydrated.

Answer

Keep something like a small bottle of apple or orange juice in your purse. It can help bring your sugar up quickly. Also, eat snacks and small meals often - three "squares" isn't an effective way to eat when you're facing low blood sugar. When you eat carbs, also eat something with protein. Snacks like carrots and peanut butter, a hard boiled egg and celery, or cheese cubes and apple slices are all good combinations. 
If you have an iPhone (not sure if there is an android equivalent), set up the health kit and make sure it has your current information in it. That way, if you end up passing out again while you're alone (hoping this doesn't happen), emergency responders have access to important information and know who to contact for you.
