Low Blood Sugar Binge Prevention (A Diabetes Video)

At the point you feel like you are starving, you will eat just about anything regardless of the consequences. One of my more memorable binges was a few years ago - right before bed. I ended up eating myself out of house and home. It felt so good to binge that evening! The consequences of that evening were devastating. I woke up with my stomach feeling woozy. I tossed and turned all night. When I woke up the next morning, my blood glucose was through the roof. My blood sugar levels bounced around all day until I eventually leveled out 24 hours later. Never again I said to myself, but I have said that many times before. This was back in 2011 at 9:00 am on Sunday morning, and I check my morning blood sugar: 39 mg/dl. “Where did I go wrong?” I said to myself and then realized I didn’t have time to figure it out. I downed 8oz of lemonade. I proceeded to wait. But I couldn't wait. But I knew I’d have to, or I would feel like crap the rest of the day. I was ravenous. So here I am, facing that epic question again: to binge or not to binge? I poured myself another glass of lemonade and started looking for something to eat in the refrigerator. So I found what I was looking for: pre-made tuna fish salad, nothing to make and easy to eat. I grabbed the container and a small fork, the kind one uses when you’re just starting to eat real food as a child. With this little fork, I slowly ate in small forkfuls while sipping the lemonade. By the time my blood sugar had returned to normal, and my hunger drifted away, I had had only 4 ounces of lemonade and 1/8th of a pound of tuna fish. I gave myself a small injection for the extra lemonade. Two hours later, my blood sugar levels returned normal and my day wasn’t ruined by shifting high and low blood sugars. I consider this technique “Low Blood Sugar Binge Prevention.” To schedule your first in person or online Diabetes-Focused Psychotherapy Session call (917) 272-4829 or email me at [email protected].
