Reactions to sugar

Does anyone else have strong reactions to eating sugar? Lately if I eat anything sugary at all, like a hard candy, I crash within 20 minutes or so. I get a bad headache and I feel really tired, almost drunk. I know it's a little early for GD symptoms, so I figured it's just a pregnancy symptom for me. I'm staying away from sugar now, but it's hard to avoid all the time. I'll be asking me doctor at my appointment coming up, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

  • If I don't get ENOUGH sugar I *crash* :-(  I get dizzy and icky feeling, and with DS I would almost pass out at times.  I have to constantly have something in my system.

  • I don't have the reaction you are referring to, but I do have to make sure to balance any carbs or sugar with a good deal of protein to keep myself from feeling "off."
