Once in a blue moon if I don't eat for a few hours I get nervous and I feel like eating lots of sweets?

Question

what does it mean? does it mean i have low blood sugar?

It happens less since I became a vegetarian though

Answer 1

Yep your body needs the food it works on when you eat!! thats not good to do. because then youll get sick if you just eat sweets. You get dizzy and You feel soo uh!! i use to do that, and well it never helped me feel better. if you cant eat right away get a slice of bread and add cheese or spread butter and drink coffe at work or something. Not eating at all is the start to feeling bad when you dont eat or when you do eat. Its hard to explain but thats how eating disorders will start

Answer 2

Your symptoms may very well indicate low blood sugar. I have that condition, and I experience the same symptoms when I don't eat after several hours. Other symptoms include irritability and the inability to think clearly.

If this happens on a regular basis, PLEASE carry a sweet snack in your pocket at all times. Something that doesn't melt, such as Skittles, is a good choice.

If your sugar drops exceedingly low, the symptoms can be vey severe and even dangerous. A sweet snack can pull you out of it fairly quickly.

Some doctors believe low blood sugar is a precursor to diabetes, but I don't think that has been proven. Therefore, you should be tested for diabetes just to be safe.

Answer 3

how long is "a few hours"? you shouldn't go longer than 3 or 4 hours before eating. I don't know if it means anything.
