Dropping BG and Diarrhea, cha cha cha

For younger people, you might not know that the title is a throwback to an old MTV cartoon called, "Beavis and Butthead".

Anyways, I'm writing about a gross topic today. As the title suggests, I'm talking about diarrhea. This info here is completely anecdotal so please that all the suggestions here as a strictly individual case. Although, if you happen to pass by this page and have a similar story, I'd love to know.

Yesterday, I went very very low. Down to 39mg/dL. Before I had very good control I would sweat profusely and shake and get dizzy rapidly because I was starting at 200-300mg/dL and dropping to 40mg/dL. It was quite tramatic and scary and typically ended with a deep pain in my stomach followed by a single strong bout of diarrhea (nearly entirely water). Afterward, I would start to feel human again. The entire process from the start of crashing to final relief was about 30min-2h depending on severity but it always ended the same way.

These days I have much better control. I do still go low, however, the symptoms are not nearly as dramatic. Typically I'm starting at 100-160mg/dL and I'm slooooowly dropping to 50mg/dL or even 39mg/dL as was the case yesterday. And the major joy is that the harsh projectile diarrhea isn't a standard event! I'm happy about that, but sometimes I still get a more mild and delayed response.

Last night, after a nice and normal meal, I had a gentle but definite urge and finally a run with the runs. As mentioned, earlier n the day I dropped to 39mg/dL and didn't check my recovery until dinner-time. I was at 190mg/dL... not bad considering I drank a coke to help the recovery and didn't correct for it. Then, after dinner and my brown belt bout, I shot up to 280! I went to bed thinking this stress and internal issues with the muddy super-soaker had caused the jump. But again this morning I found that my BG was up to 300mg/dL.

SO I think back and I don't remember what happened after my bouts before. I was always high, but I also had always assumed it was the sugar I ate to stop from crashing. Maybe the resulting diarrhea is actually the source of the higher BG?

So now my current hypothesis is something like this...
The low low BG causes a natural reaction to encourage eating.
I eat to stop from crashing, but the ball is in motion to finish the deal with a bout of diarrhea.
Once the body has flushed, a new issue arises with the bodies response to evacuating that much water in one sitting, and so the BG rises.
If the urge continues or the feeling at least continues (and it does) so will the rise in BG.

Its a pretty awful circle if I'm right. I'll have to really apy close attention when this happens again, and I KNOW it will happen again.
