carbohydrate intolerance

Have you never eaten carboydrates before this particular time? If yes, what happened then/

Vegetables also have carbs. Do vegetables make you dizzy?

and fruits...

OP do you mean grains?

Maybe it's the gluten in the cooking and not carbohydrate in general. You need carbohydrate to survive and it's in most foods.

What kind of cookies were they? Did your hippy son in law bring them over?

hahah this!!! ^^

no i was making cookies with my kids and second of all I'm only 34 not old enough for a son in law so keep your stupid behind dumb jokes to yourself and have a nice holiday.

Wow. Calm down. People are just joking around.

This is no place for levity and joking around. Weight loss is serious business.


:bigsmile:

There is a time and a place for everything and if it was meant as a joke my question would be in a form of a joke. Now as far as my sugar intake sometimes when i do eat fruits and vegetables my sugar is still high that is how mfp have thier settings.

Except your sugar isn't coming from fruits or vegetables.

And this is a public forum. People are going to give their responses as they please. Even if you weren't joking, some people joke. That's that. They have the right to express themselves as they want.

Your right people have the right to express but i have rights as well to not be disrespected either if i said i ate cookies what does hippy son in law got to do with that nothing my point exactly.

It was a joke. It wasn't a disrespect. We don't know you and we aren't going to go check everyone's profile for age just to make sure a joke is "plausible". Just let it go and make an appointment with your physician to get yourself checked out.

Are you aware of Hyperglycemia and Hypoglycemia? I have Hypoglycemia (not diabetes) and it is similar to the symptoms you are describing. I just noticed you have diabetes. It could be that the current medications you are on are not regulating your blood sugar properly. My father has diabetes, and he was told not to eat desserts like cookies because it can cause such a spike in sugars.

i don't have diabetes it runs in my family. i was fixing cookies with my kids i ate some and got real dizzy which never happened before i remind myself i didn't eat any protein si i ate some slices of turkey and felt a little better.

Sounds like a sugar overload, not a carb overload, necessarily.....I've had that feeling too, if I eat or drink something with too much sugar, I will feel funny and have to drink a lot of water to flush out a bit.

Sometimes, sugary cakes give me that feeling. Glad I'm not a sugarbaby, LOL.

Just wondering, how many cookies did you eat? (not asking for a calorie count, just wondering because you may be able to eat cookies, you just have to limit yourself). And if you have been eating a low-sugar diet, your body could have felt a bit shocked by the sugar spike, perhaps :-)

Hey - you asked for comments. Don't get so high and mighty. You didn't say how old you were to begin with, and most ppl here aren't trying to be smartalecky. Carbs are in most everything you eat, so it is unlikely the carbs in the cookies did it - most likely too much sugar intake. And if it isn't the first time you've made cookies, I doubt it is the cookies carbs either. I would ask if you have been checked for any insulin issues, but don't want a slap either.
