Welp, I had a few bites of mashed potatoes and 15 mins later, I started getting weak, shaky, very, very sleepy and a bit confused. It progressed from weakness to confusion in a span of about 30 mins. Had a few oz of sugary koolaid and it got better, though I still feel a little weak. I think I have reactive hypoglycemia. I was pre-diabetic before surgery.... I knew this was a possibility, but I am still surprised.
I have a glucose meter but can't for the life of me find it.
What can I do? Just really cut out any carb-dense foods and carry glucose tablets with me? It was the confusion that scared me most. I was looking for a glass to mix koolaid in and I couldn't remember where my glasses were. I kept opening cabinets and they were the wrong ones. I've never done that before.
