food?

Have any of you noticed any relation to low blood sugar and anxiety? I only ate once today on top of working out really hard and about an hour ago started having shakes, numbness in my arm and face, ect. Good ole anxiety issues. So I quickly made a protein shake and took a 5mg valium and within 10 minutes was feeling tons better. Its not enough time for the valium to kick in so I'm wondering about low blood sugar? Anyone notice this personally?

Oh yeah!!

I had a doctor at one time advise me to eat smaller, but more frequent meals to keep BGL's level, and to avoid panic by a blood glucose drop.

She said 5 small meals was optimal...not leaving more than 3 or so hours between eating something.

I am glad that you were able to feel better with something in your system! Try not to go without eating so long the next time...and always fuel before you burn! (eat b4 u workout)
