What exactly happened to me?

Yesterday, while I was bathing my pet dog, I experienced a strange soreness spread throughout my body. I was sweating heavily, felt completely drained of energy, and trembling slightly. It was around noon and I felt sleepy as well. Despite all these, I didn’t stop bathing my pet. I thought it was because I had closed the bathroom door and the temperature was high at that moment. Even though I was uncomfortable, I dried him off completely and combed him thoroughly. Normally, after bathing my dog, I feed him lunch, but that day I didn’t have the strength. So, after finishing his bath, I went straight to bed and slept with the fan turned on.

After about half an hour, I got up and I felt little better. Then I headed to the kitchen to give lunch to both my husband and our pet. I also ate, although I still felt extremely tired. I usually read a book or watch a movie after lunch, but I didn’t feel like doing either that day. I felt something strange with my body. All I wanted to do was sleep, so I went back to bed and slept soundly until 5:30 p.m. When I awoke, I felt much better. Later, for evening tea, we ate some cake and drank tea. When I shared what happened to me with my husband during our evening tea, he suggested that my sugar level might be low, so he checked it with the machine. Even though I had tea and cake for our evening snack and balanced lunch, my blood sugar level was 90 mg/dL at that time.

When I informed my next-door nurse about my condition, she said that my random blood sugar level should be 140mg/dL. Even after having cake and tea, my blood sugar level was only 90mg/dL. She advised me to be careful when going out and asked me to keep some sweets, especially chocolate in my handbag to use if I experience a similar situation again.

According to the nurse, I was in a hypoglycemic state; to avoid it, she urged me to eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly, and take appropriate hypoglycemic treatment to ensure proper rest and recovery. She also recommended I proceed with caution and safety, seek medical guidance, and check my food, activity, and blood sugar levels.
