Does anyone know a lot about blood sugar. I haven't eaten all day, wasn't really hungry, and suddenly got dizzy and had a panic attack. Can this be related to low blood sugar?

Yes, it probably is blood sugar related. You should not go without eating.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

The thing is, it's only 12ish around here, and I wasn't even hungry.

Fruit juice will give you the quickest sugar rush, but back it up with more complex carbs.

sounds like it was absolutely related - I suffer from low blood sugar and will "close off" or "shut down" if I don't eat something every few hours. Once, during rehearsals, I fainted for the first time in my life - and hadn't eaten in several hours. It's not fun. I also get bad headaches. I tend to eat something high in protein if I feel it coming on - nuts, or peanut butter is good. Often only a piece of fruit is available - but it's better to get more protein in you. I do much better when I start the day with a big breakfast which is well rounded - eggwhites, some veggies, a whole-wheat english muffin or bowl of oatmeal, and juice. Speak to your doctor about it and he/she will help you decide how to best combat the fatigue associated with low blood-sugar attacks.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I seond Redhotinny2's advice. My blood sugar drops if I don't eat for several hours and headaches, light-headedness etc. are classic symptoms. For high protein, cheese may also work. I had a friend who was hypoglycemic who never went anywhere without a few of those Bonbel cheeses in her possession.

Though, um...it's worth noting that lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting are also associated with low blood pressure. Not that I'd know anything about that.

Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. Diabetes is high blood sugar. Sorry if I confused the issue.
