Granny's gone and done it again

sleepy after you eat is also a sign of being too high. You need to check it.

Thanks, I will.

Oh wow I didn’t realize that.

Yeah, lots of people don't. Another scary thing, the cash receipts from machines where you pay for goods, will leach plastic into your skin if you touch the receipts!

I pass out. I have woke up in some of the strangest places. Walmarts more time then I could tell. One time on that metal rolling table they bring the meat out on. Woke up on the way home and last place I remember being was Aldies. Tom said some woman helped him get me in the van. Was at the heart Drs wake up in the er.. Woke up once with my front wheels in a ditch on one side of the road and the back tires the ditch on the other side. The car was laying flat on the road. Woke up soaking wet once.. It gets crazy! lol

Good grief! I remember you telling about ending up in the ditch. You know it might be good for Robert to know enough about driving just to be able to pull the car off the road safely. Not necessarily to get you home, but just safe. Wonder if he'd be willing to do that.

I often get sleepy after I eat but not right away. I don't suffer from confusion like that, though. I only check my bs in the morning. Once I get sleepy ... well, I'm too sleepy to check it! But does that sound like a sugar drop?

It can. I think one of my medications damaged something. The lithium damaged my kidneys and pituitary gland. But as time goes on, more damage shows up because the kidneys don't work right.
Then the sulfasalazine have pressure on my brain till I got blind spots on my eyes. At the same time the lamictal became to strong and caused mania and that's when I started with hypos, got acrohns flare, had the brain bleed and my blood pressure became to strong. It happened simultaneously but the hypos never went away. I keep thinking some day the Drs will find a better explanation.
When they diagnosed me at the hospital, they gave me something sweet to drink and kept testing my sugars. Suddenly I felt like my blood draining out of my head. My sugar dropped to 30. I remember crying because I get emotional. And the nurses running for fruit juice and peanut butter and then a sandwich. They weren't able to finish the test
That evening I had tunnel vision, saw black with a spot in the center. DH took me to the ER and that's when they found the brain bleed.
And that's why I'm so determined to do diets rather then medication

There's plastic everywhere, I don't see how you can avoid it. Milk and bread come in plastic. So does shampoo and toilet paper. Soda. I can't think of anything that doesn't, except produce ... and ... I put that in plastic bags to get it home. Butter doesn't ...

Wow! What do you mean by "hypos"?

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I get emotional but it's my bipolar, not my sugars. I think.

Do you carry glucose tablets or gel with you? I do and the shot as well. Robert gives me those

I believe it. I've been close enough that I take food with me everywhere. I can literally feel something that feels like it's draining out of my head. I used to eat subway sandwiches with that cheap bologna. Half an hour to an hour later, I would be shaking and in tears and all confused. The Dr said if I get to much sugar/carbs at once, my body goes in over drive and makes to much insulin. That insulin eats up my sugar and there's none left for my brain. Granny, is that how you understand it? Most people think you aren't eating enough sugar but actually you eat too much
