Low Blood sugar?

Is anyone else having low blood sugar issues?  It's happened a few times now about 2-2.5 hours after I eat breakfast.  I got really hot and shaky and felt like I was going to pass out.  Luckily I work in healthcare and a nurse checked my blood sugar (it was 69). I drank some juice and felt better, but it happened again a few days later.

It seems to happen if I don't get a snack between breakfast and lunch even though I am eating a good sized breakfast with carbs and protein and lunch is only 3.5 hours after breakfast.

I had gestational diabetes with my last pregnancy, so I am wondering if this could be an early warning sign of that?

Re: Low Blood sugar?

  • I had to go to my OB last week because I was having some bad tremors (I thought they were related to my thyroid problems so they saw me quickly) they determine my glucose level was the cause and told me to snack between meal and to favor proteins and fruits! I sure hope it's not a sign of gestational diabetes....

  • I had GD with my daughter and had a few bouts of that low trembling blood sugar in my third trimester. I'd certainly mention it to your medical professional.
