Been getting these a lot recently - that slightly dizzy, sick, shaky feeling when you've done too much and eaten too little. The problem is I've been eating loads - so I doubt it's the lack of food. But they're becoming quite common on my ride home, meaning I have to limp home for lack of energy.

I'm also exhausted by about 9pm and end up having to crawl into bed and sleep.

Not sure if it's just a bit of a bug going around - but wanted to check if anyone else has had anything similar.

I get something which seems similar. I can guarantee if its going to happen it will be half an hour after i start my ride home from work when i have not eaten much during the day. Sometimes though i think if you have a strong sweet coffee or a high hit of sugar before you start even if ive eaten well i still get the same feeling.
I think its just Blood sugar dropping too low too quickly from a high point.
Interested to hear from those that know the true cause.

Are you thirsty?

Go and get your blood sugar levels checked.

Yeah - that's probably a good idea. Had the same this morning, not so much the sick feeling, but just no energy. In fact I could sleep right now...
