Hi everybody....I was feeling a bit odd after dinner...Normally my

[CaliforniaPeggy]

hunger goes away quickly after eating, but tonight I felt hungry and a little shaky even after cleaning up the kitchen...

So I had a little dessert...and then I sat down here at my computer to see what would happen next.....

And now my hunger is gone...and I feel like myself once again!

VERY odd...:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

1. Hypoglycemia maybe?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. That's what it felt like...

And I was quite hungry before dinner...but I'd had some macadamia nuts while I was cooking...and that usually takes care of things...

Oh well, at least it's gone!

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

3. At any rate, I am glad you are feeling better

I get hypoglycemic once in a while and it is very unpleasant.

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. I also get hypoglycemic now and then...and yes, it is very

unpleasant...I've had it checked out...

I've just never had it happen after dinner before...

I have kicked up my diet to increase my weight loss...perhaps I need to watch that a bit more...

:pals: :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Had it happen to me today, too

Am hypoglycemic, and on an antibiotic (doxycycline) for after dental work. Looked up the side effects of the antibiotic am on, and learned it can reduce insulin. Now am wondering if I need to be checked for diabetes. :shrug:

Glad you're feeling better, CaliforniaPeggy! :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. I've never been diabetic...not even when I was pregnant...

And thank you, yes, I'm feeling just fine now...

I guess there are limits as to how vigorously I can cut my calories!

:pals:

[KitchenWitch]

18. And I was diabetic in both of my pregnancies

Son was 9 lbs 12 oz ("controlled" by diet alone)

Daughter was 7 lbs 14 oz (four shots of insulin per day)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Are you still taking insulin, or did your body get back to "normal"?

I'm hoping you got back to normal...

[KitchenWitch]

23. Back to normal

but have to do routine checks to see whether I develop insulin resistance later in life...

[WCGreen]

4. Get thee to a doctor as soon as possible....

We, I, don't want anything to happen to Cal Peg......

BTW, I had a great time tonight at the reunion....

Now kick back and rest now will you!!!!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. There you are...I've been wondering if you'd turn up tonight...

And I thank you for your concern...And I am kicking back and resting up...

And now I feel wonderful...

I'm so glad you had fun at your reunion! :loveya: :hug:

[WCGreen]

6. It was fun by I haven't been able to get myinhalers done....

I just wanted to check in before I disappear and get the smoke out of my lungs....

See you soon....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Ok, my dear WC....

I'll be around ....

[bridgit]

9. cool...

it's always good when a flutter of some kind works it's way on through imo :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear bridgit...

You have lost me! A flutter? What is this? :shrug:

[bridgit]

16. "little shaky even after..." hubby is a 'systems guy'...

and has me thinking of late about how it is systems are @ peak & are then perhaps not from time to time; he refers to them as "flutters" that work their way on through, if you had had a chart, or monitor attached so as to say, you may have seen a little wobble, or 'flutter', but all is right now, yes :D system normal :thumbsup: and that is a good thing to my mind :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. OK, I got you! Thanks!

The wobble is definitely gone...and I feel great!

ESPECIALLY with you, and all the rest of my friends here, holding my silly hand!

:grouphug: :loveya:

[bridgit]

25. we should probably check-in more often, Peg...

:pals: after all, it is said we are beneath a big tent :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. And indeed we are, my dear bridgit...

It is a big tent indeed...and I feel the love that comes from this wonderful group so strongly tonight...

Thank you....:loveya:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

10. I've got hypoglycemia. It's cool when your teeth start chattering.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Hi there, my dear Crazy Guggenheim!

So you get it as well? I have to say, that my teeth have never chattered while I'm hypoglycemic...

I get very shaky feeling, and my gut hurts...No fun at all...

I am trying to lose weight, but I may be trying just a little bit too hard!

:pals: :hug:

[fishnfla]

13. Wow, that is very strange

man sakes alive, hope all is well!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Yes indeedy it was strange...my dear fishnfla....

But I hadn't had much lunch, and then just a little snack while I was making dinner, and then dinner was not huge..

So maybe all that was just too much for this old body of mine?

But I'm great now...I'll just have to keep an eye on things...

:shrug: I appreciate your concern...

[Tom Kitten]

17. I hope you're ok, Peggy

I worry about you

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear Tom Kitten...

No need to worry about me! But I thank you for it...

I'm fine...I even have a phone right here next to my computer, so if anything seems to be wrong, I can call the paramedics easily...

But that is NOT happening...at all...Thank you...

Please don't worry about me...I have very strong survival instincts...

:yourock: :loveya:

[Floogeldy]

20. Pancreas

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Pancreas?

Yes, insulin comes from the pancreas...

I'm doing well, my dear Floogeldy....how are you tonight?

:loveya: :pals:

[In_The_Wind]

27. Hey ~ Peggy ... I missed this!

... but it is nice to see you're back yo your normal cheerful self!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Thanks , Joani....

I am most happily restored to myself...thank you...

:loveya: :pals:

[Heidi]

30. What does your intuition tell you, Peggy?

Was this just an anomaly, or do you think you ought to see a doctor tomorrow (Monday)? As I recall, you're a retired nurse?

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. As promised, here you are, my dear Heidi...

My gut feeling is that I need to keep an eye on myself for the time being...

I do not feel that a trip to the doctor's is necessary at this time...

And yes, I am a retired nurse...and I know my body well...

As I said upthread, I had cut my calories today more than on other days, and I believe that this is what upset me...

I feel fine now...and I will be observing myself closely...

Probably just an anomaly....I appreciate your concern, my dear!

:hug: :loveya:
