Perimenopause and low blood sugar
Posted , 13 users are following.
Hello, do any of you feel like since perimenopause started that you get low blood sugar as well? I feel like if I dont eat first thing in the morning or little things throughout the day I get the jelly legs, shaky, weird head etc.....then the anxiety of course. Has anyone else felt this way?

I was experiencing low blood sugar episodes a lot last year. I started drinking protein shakes which helped keep me feeling fuller up to 4 hours (instead of just 2 hours when I didn't have it). Also started carrying protein bars with me just in case. I think this helped keep me from gaining weight. I think this must've helped train my body because I have been able to cut back on the protein shakes this year.

YES! All the time. It feels like your head and legs don't connect and you're going to pass out. Protein helps...eggs, chicken, fish. It's rough on vegetarians. I was tested and it's all hormones. Those bad, nasty hormones having a big party in your body. I'd wish they'd all go home. Most unwelcome guest. This kicks in anxiety and can make you overeat. It does lighten up. Hang in there!!

Wow thank you Jamie! Your right you do tend to want to keep eating in hopes its that. Yes hormones can go ahead and leave now lol! Thanks again
