You're ok! If you were too hungry, your insulin levels go up and you need the sugar. Then when you ingest it (especially a muffin - that's a simple carbohydrate - very "sugary") then your body temp goes up and burns off the insulin. I'm oversimplifying the process, but basically that can be why you get hot.


You'll be okay. Better to eat small amounts, and eat well than to go hungry, then eat simple carbs.

okay thanks. i just assumed a muffin would be good because it would fill me up. rather than somethign else... it was only 7 11

How are you feeling now?

That's happened to me before too. Though I think I'm probably a little late on this and I'm sure you are fine ... you will be fine lol. (PS thanks for the explaination sage, that makes sense and good to be able to make sense when those things happen)

I get hot like that when my blood sugar is low..and that makes me freak out even more..

Yes I'm sure it was from hunger.



I'm actually shocked at how many emets talk about not eating for a
whole day because I know that for me going hungry makes my emet worse
because it makes me feel sick and dizzy.

I feel dreadful when I get over-hungry - I shake, feel sickly and and get a headache. I try to carry a cereal bar or fruit snack around so I can nibble on something if I start to feel hungry.

yea, i get very shaky and hot sometimes when i dont eat for a while. the thing is i usually dont go anywhere hungry because i feel sickwhen i get hungry. figures, i realized ont he wy to the city that i didnt eat.
