I just ate way too many chocolate chips and now I feel awful. I actually feel high. Do I only have to wait it out or is there something I can do to bring my blood sugar down? Also of course not doing this again.

    drink lots of water and try something that is pure protein and a bit of fat....In other words, if you do it again, try peanut butter with those chocolate chips! (joking!!)

    Use it! Hope on the treadmill or do some high impact aerobics. Works every time for me!:flowerforyou:

    Good idea, run off the chips! I like how you think.

    Even taking a walk will help some! Drink some water, eat something like peanut butter, avocado, some cheese. Other than that - time girl time. Oh, and learning a lesson :grumble: Next time less chocolate chips!!

    I agree with ivykivy ... enjoy it! It's probably not just the sugar but a combo of things .... chocolate affects me that way too. (Caffeine, anyone?) Makes me feel like I could conquer the world, but in a bad way. I have to ride it out, nothing seems to help me. Let me know if you discover the antidote!

    It seems over now. It was really scary, I don't like that feeling. Yeah, I just had to wait for it to end. I used to be able to eat all the sugar I wanted but since I've started cutting out (or at least reducing) how much sweets and fatty food I eat, it really effects me. I guess that means it really is bad. I just don't have the tolerance anymore.
