That's awful news I guess it could have been a whole lot worse but still. Mark is right, this mystery needs to be solved and fast

Bruteforce would be the guy to ask hear about it. He knows a lot about blood sugar and levels and might be able to give you some advice.

Did they give you any indication why this happened? Or did they just make sure you were ok and send you home? Any follow up with a doctor?

You need to get to the bottom of this to make sure its only a one off.

Give me a text later to let me know the story

Cheers guys,

still no word on the tests

im guessing the lack of breakfast caused my sugar levels to drop?

havent been back all week, gonna try a light session tonight and bring some lucozade just incase I start feeling odd

I am no expert in this at all.....so keep that in mind!!!

Often after some heavy sessions I was feeling really odd and had the shakes. We started to test my blood sugar directly after workouts. It showed that my sugar levels dropped drastically during lifting. To the point of near shock levels. Now I try to have some type of sugar directly before and after the workout. It has stopped the rapid drops.

Like I said, dont know much about the subject, but that helpped me. Hope that your feeling better, and you get to the bottom of it!

Thanks J,

Sounds very similar.. I was thinking of sipping on a fizzy drink during the workout to try keep them up.. not sure how effective it would be though as my levels were at 0.9 on sunday.. I might need more sugar than just a drink?

I'm no expert either but I do try to at least sip on whey and water before, during and after lifting just to keep things consistent.

When I mess up my eating plan, I hit a wall about 2pm the next day where my blood sugar crashes.

I would try at minimum to eat something like a banana and whey shake 60-75 minutes before lifting.
