Hunger monster explained

As Jorge has learned over the years, when I get start to get hungry, we'd better find some food fast or I turn into a grumpy monster. It can happen in just a few minutes. I can start feeling a little hungry, and 10 minutes later, I'm ready to tear him to shreds and eat myself inside out. Well, I think I now have an explanation of what's going on.

My obstetrician sent me in for a 3-hour blood glucose test and the results were normal, but interesting (to me).

Time-----------Normal values (mg/dL)----Suelika's results (mg/dL)
------------------------------------------------------------------
0 (fasting)----less than 95--------------82 (monster level)
1 hour---------less than 180------------167
2 hours--------less than 155------------117
3 hours--------less than 140-------------78 (monster level)

When my blood sugar goes down, it goes down fast, so watch out!

Hola, Suelika,

So, you better carry some snacks, e.g., a granola bar, in your purse.

Good luck and take care.

Don't worry, we have snacks stashed everywhere.

Does this mean you have to eat every three hours?
