is it possible im diabetic?

FireRedFurry

I did my hour and a half of swimming earlier this morning, and after 30 minutes, I began to feel light headed. Earlier that morning, I ate an average sized bowl of oatmeal, little bit of brown sugar on top, and two eggs and about 48 ounces of water before entering the pool. Once I was done in the pool, I ate a pretty big peanut butter and jelly sandwich, graham crackers and more water. (24 ounces) once I arrived home, I felt even more light headed. I continued to drink water, and as my guilty pleasures started to cross my mind, I reach for a piece of chocolate. The chocolate mademe feel SO much better. TThat's odd! What is this? Why did this happen to me?

You should ask your doctor instead of an internet forum that cannot run tests on you.

Your day's intake also sounds pretty low. Chocolate is calorie dense. You could easily just be having issues from under-eating.

Breakfast: estimating around 300 calories.
Post-swimming: bread could be ~150 calories, PB maybe 200 calories, jelly maybe around 100 calories, idk graham crackers 100 calories?

So like.. not even 1000 calories if those estimates are even remotely close.

No one on the internet can tell you if you have diabetes. You should see your doctor though. It sounds like reactive hypoglycemia is a definite possibility.

This is not a place to ask questions like this. Go see a doctor.

I don't think the sugar in chocolate could have made much of a difference, when you already had sugar in your oatmeal and jelly? Its not like you didn't have any sugar or carbs all day.

TO answer your question - I think its a coincidence....but if you are serious and really think that diabetes might be a possibility - you need to go to the Dr.

only a doctor can diagnose you

that said, what your describing does not sound like high blood sugar, at least not based on how my husband physically experiences it (but it may be different for others, i dont know). and you certainly ate too much for low blood sugar.

basically, go to a doc... we cant help you.
