What a place to have low blood sugar. My body clock was all off with the change in time. I was eating at strange times and my food choices were inconsistent, at best. I thought I was doing fine, but found that I was irritable with my family over little issues. That's usually a sign that my blood sugar level is really off. I'm fortunate that I don't have to stick myself in order to know that. Usually, I can tell from my behavior, tears, or lack of patience.
Having Hawaiian Shaved Ice didn't help things one bit, although I really enjoyed it. The sugar spikes give me an almost euphoric feeling, but it affects my moods. Once I was aware of my being irritable with my family, I prayed, turning it and the temptations to eat sweet foods over to God who heals me, even when I'm oblivious to needing healing.
Then, I went from one extreme to another. Trying to stay away from sugar, which throws my Hypoglycemic system for a loop, I tried to make sure I was eating healthy food. I remember being in a restaurant and it had been too long since my last meal. It seemed to be a painstaking effort to try to find something healthy to eat that I could select. It's not that there wasn't anything healthy on the menu, but more that none of the things on the menu appealed to me. I didn't feel at all hungry and it took forever for me to finally order, but a half an hour or so after I ate, my body and mood stabilized. Fortunately, God took care of this issue in spite of my resistance. I am very blessed. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my overeating, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verse.
