Story time. I’ve had sleeping issues for most of my adult life – easy to fall asleep, but have weird things like waking up in cold sweats from vivid sci-fi-like night terrors. Was always groggy in the morning. Sleep study turned up nothing. (1/n)

Then I met @SamCorcos and invested in @Levels – and signed up, too, mostly out of curiosity...my dad got diabetes when he was 50, but my bloodwork (A1c) always came back excellent. Got my kit in January. Glucose was all over the map. (2/n)

Then I got my first bad night terror since starting the program – woke up shouting, drenched in sweat, the usual. Scanned my monitor the next morning – turns out my glucose bottomed out at *41* mg/dL. Apparently that is Bad. (3/n)

High carb dinners caused my levels to crash in the middle of the night – body was going into emergency mode to wake me up.

Stopped eating high carb dinners and now I won’t die in my sleep or get diabetes 🔑

File under “the food we eat is killing us.”

thanks, @Levels. /end

This 2-month delayed thread brought to you by the double order of pasta I ate last night which triggered a hypoglycemia episode and reminded me that this used to happened to me all the time.
