Spent Saturday in the ER

So Saturday I was at the mall with my husband around 11:00. We hit a couple stores, then went into Old Navy. I was on the woman's side looking at tights, when I suddenly got a little nauseas. I checked the time and it was 11:30, so i thought to myself, let me go grab my husband and tell him we should get lunch after this store. So I walk over to him and the second I stop in front of him, the room started spinning. I was so dizzy and there were grey splotches in front of my eyes and I couldn't see. I tried to tell my husband something was wrong but I just passed out. Luckily he caught me and I woke up on the floor dripping in sweat. He said I was as red as a tomato, but the heat went away quickly and then I got the shakes. Paramedics took me to the ER and they think it had to due with my blood sugar. I had an unhealthy breakfast, and they couldn't find anything else wrong. When I got to the ER my blood sugar was 81, but it was at least 45 mins after passing out. Got a sonogram and both babies were fine and moving all over the place. It was just such a scary experience.

They basically said that you shouldn't have a lot of sugar in the morning, it has to be protein. I had two doughnuts because a new shop opened near our house. Lesson learned!!

So scary, glad you all are ok! 2 doughnuts will definitely spike your blood sugar. Protein, small amount of complex carbs and water next time!!
Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious

That must have been so scary. I had a moment like that when I was about 20 weeks. I almost threw up and passed out until I ate an apple. Just keep an eye out for those types of incidents. Since you're carrying twins you're at a higher risk for GD. I wound up getting diagnosed at 31 weeks, but I'm sure that the hypo episode was a result of it being undiagnosed earlier.
