Low Blood Sugar

[Nottynate94]

I have been on the induction phase 4 weeks this Friday. I went for a run last week and was a little nauseous but no big deal. Yesterday I went for another run about 2.5 miles at the gym and when I finished I felt REALLY sick. It stayed with me all day even though I drank plenty of water and had snacks and my dinner. Last night before going to bed I was still feeling the same but tried to shake it off and fall asleep. I woke up at around 6:00 a.m., and I felt horrible. I was having cold sweats, was super nauseous and my hands were shaking uncontrollably. I went to the bathroom to see if I would throw-up but didn't so I got into the shower and as I did I almost fainted. I jumped out and got on the floor with my feet elevated. I was able to make it back to bed but felt like a truck had run over my body. I asked my husband to bring me something sweet from the kitchen (felt like my blood sugar was too low) so he grabbed me 4 skittles and I ate them went back to bed and I felt better. Has anyone had this type of experience? I think it had to do with my run but not sure if its something else.

How low carb are you eating???

Are you eating something small before and after your runs? I am hypoglycemic, and have found that a little bit of protien before and after strenuous excercize stops me from getting all wonky.

I am having 25-30 gms of carbs. I had some string cheese 30 min prior and a protein shake (Atkins) after my workout

Well then, I am out of intelligent advice I hope you find a solution to your problem!
