Hello @toomanyoars,

I have had the same experience if I eat high sugar items on an empty stomach. I become so tired that I have to sleep for at least 10 minutes, break out in cold sweats and feel light-headed. I do not have the salt craving. though. If I take my blood sugar with one of those home meters it is usually about 180 or so. So, to make a long story, short, I just avoid high sugar items and if I just must have them, I have them after a meal. This is just my personal experience, though, no doctor has told me to do this.

Do you use a home meter to check your blood sugar during those times?

No. I don't. If I did I definitely would have to learn how to read it. But that's ok. The sweating and cold is familiar. I have noticed a couple of times that after I have had something sugary but haven't eaten anything else I have experienced the same symptoms. Thank you!
