Today I Suffered Another Low Blood Sugar Episode Because I Skipped My Meal
It is not really good for me to eat foods with no protein because I got to have bouts of low blood sugar that made me shake with hunger. It is not the hunger where I want to eat a lot of food but a hunger that my body feels beyond eating foods.
So a few hours ago while I am working here with my laptop I felt that I am weaker and the light of the laptop is somewhat blinding me. Then I felt that hands are shaking and the symptoms of a low blood sugar levels arose and so I kept quiet and tried to send text message to my mother, it is harder than it sounds and I managed to text her that I wanted some bread at least so I can raise my blood sugar levels.
I only ate some two pieces of boiled sweet potatoes and I thought that it was already okay for me. But midnight didn't came for me without the feeling of hunger and so I felt the symptoms of hunger.

My mother luckily had read my text so she made some sandwich for me and I agreed that she put on some cheese on it as my protein source so it will make the bread slower to digest. Then my situation improved after eating and I tried to just sleep because I am not really in the condition to work anymore.
Now I am okay already but passing some gas because of the cheese which I am forced to eta because of my low blood sugar. I have no diabetes but it is just caused by my lack of desire to eat food after dialysis. That is what happened a few hours ago which I could have prevented by not skipping my meals but I am having an appetite-loss so this issue is bound to happen.
I am sorry to hear that.
Do you keep a meal journal? That might help make sure you eat every few hours.
No @metzli I just eat whatever is around and skip if I do not like the food.
Oh :(
Perhaps skipping meals should be avoided - even if you don’t like what’s available?
