Yesterday I took a CPR certification course at the gym. I didn't realize it wasn't re-certification, so I only brought a little snack. Turns out, we were there for four hours, and I didn't bring enough food, and ended up having a low blood sugar attack.
If you've never had one of these, you're lucky! I get shaky, sleepy, irritable and a little stupid. This is due to hypoglycaemia. Upon eating again, I feel better, but only a little. The effects of the attack last until the next day, after a decent night of sleep.
To avoid this, small, frequent meals are necessary. This helps blood sugar stay stable, and prevents conditions like hypoglycaemia. See earlier post to understand why I have it...
