Lunch: Remnants of the beef stew and a can of D.P.
I gave into temptation at my wife's work place and ordered a homemade choclate milkshake. This was made with real ice creamme and whole milk. It tasted great! An hour or so later, I felt terrible! If I stood up, I felt slightly dizzy, a bit light headed and even a bit out of breath. I had to sit down and then I felt OK. Not really fine but merely OK; at least, much better than standing up. It was several hours before I was back to normal. I can only attribute this to a reaction to the milk shake: maybe it was hyperglycemia?
I have quoted from this website (www.diabetes.org/ type-1-diabetes/ hyperglycemia.jsp ), which spoke of Ketoacidosis
QUOTE:
Ketoacidosis is life-threatening and needs immediate treatment. Symptoms include:
* shortness of breath
* breath that smells fruity
*
nausea and vomiting
*
a very dry mouth
* Talk to your doctor about how to handle this condition
ENDQUOTE:
I certainly had the "shortness of breath" and the "nausea" (but didn't vomit). My mouth was not dry. Well, it was a short term event and hopefully I can change my behavour enough to prevent it from happening again. Then, too, it might have been lactose intolorance...
Dinner: Overly baked chicken legs, boiled cabbage, potatoe and brocolli "florets" and water.
