Lesson learned
Sep. 22nd, 2011 04:27 pmSoooo. When one is hypoglycemic, one should know better than to try and go for a long walk when one has only eaten half a bowl of home made spaghetti sauce and brown rice 4 hours earlier, huh?
Yeah....
In my defense, the rice was really filling, and I didn't even think it wouldn't be enough.
But I went for a walk after work, down to the little parkway a mile away, and was all set to spend an hour or so browsing the antique shops and getting some exercise. And I was fine until about 5 minutes after I got there, when my blood sugar dropped like a rock.
I got a small chai tea from a little cafe and waited until I wasn't so shaky, then decided maybe it was a better idea to head back home and have some real food.
So. Lesson learned. Next time I go for a walk like that, I'll make sure I eat something before I go, and that I have something on hand in case my sugar drops again. Because I would have felt like a right idiot if I had passed out in the middle of the sidewalk.
*Face palm*
