Post Meal Headaches

[Kosmo29]

Hey all, Pre-D here. The last few weeks after I eat, almost anything I am getting headaches and almost a dizzy feeling. what gives?

[Moonglo]

Hmm... are you eating a lot of carbs with these meals? Right before I was dxed I noticed I would get headaches after eating foods that were higher in sugar.

Check your glucose readings.

Are they Ice-Pick Headaches.

[Kosmo29]

They are higher carb meals, and yes an ice pack would be nice. I usually just take some ibuprofen.

I find I get a headache if my blood sugar goes over the 150 range. It is always one of the first signs I get that something isn't right.

Your brain isn't protected from high BG.

What I ment is do they feel like Ice-Picks?

[Kosmo29]

Oh yes, I would say so. sorry misunderstood.

Well, that is good news, but if you get a headache after a meal I would recommend that you check your BG immediatly. If is over 140 definatly tell you present doctor or future doctor.

Also, I understand that there is a lot to learn about Diabetes, I would start counting the grams of Carbs in your meals.

IMHO, this should be your next goal, so when you go to your doctor you can explain to him what your BG levels after meals of certain carbic loads. And how they make you feel.

yeah I go over 140 eating almost anything. Usually high 150's and 160's after a meal.
