Yeah....I'm getting worried for sure. I will say that the sugar and honey and stuff they put on the slop to make it palatable is making the problem worse! The way I explained it to the hubby before we were married is.....the more sugar you ingest, the more insulin you produce, the lower your b/s gets. Eat something every few hrs with protein. Cheese, cottage cheese....a slice of lunch meat, a boiled egg.....just don't go to long without eating!

what a load of crap!! Before I left over half hour ago I heard Amanda WHINING to alex that she wanted to eat Fruit from the storage room and they wouldnt LET her.

When he asked why? she said she was hypoglycemic.

He told her to go get some sugar and mix it up with a little water.


SHE REFUSED!!

so if she did faint, it is her own fault, not slop, not BigBrother.

She is creating drama in the house, she is lying to people. She is causing herself Sugar drops by not keeping up with eating properly PLUS stress.

I hope she isnt having an allergic reaction. That is a possibility.

she will be absolutely fine once they give her the sugar she needs - assuming it's simple hypoglycaemia.

I watched the clip of it, and to me she looked horribly pale just before fainting. Almost greenish, so pale.

Hmmm .. wondering if the next thing we see is another houseguest returned? Could this be part of a twist?

But .... She did look "out of it" when she "dropped" poor girl. I hope she is Okay.

yes, you can have a more vicious drop of sugar if you have eaten too much a while earlier....but if her medical condition was that bad there is no way she'd be okay'd for a show which we ALL know involves food restricton.

christiii: it can be fatal if severe enough. Also it looks scary and rightfully so, fainting and seizing, she will probably be ok. My daughter has been insulin dependent diabetic since age 7 and has has several middle of the night seizures... we didn't even know it.... we found out one day cuz she had a stiff neck and her face was funny looking on one side. We rushed her to the MD and we had to check sugars q2 hours....

If left untreated, it could be fatal. Good sign is that she was making noises and they got to her quickly, thank God!

They will probably give her an IV for dehydrations and sugar/potassium in her IV and monitor her for at least 6 hours-- my guess. Perhaps overnight even!

It is a big studio lot with lots of stuff going on. I would think they'd have at least some medical staff and certainly could call someone in quickly as well.

But it would be nice for her family/friends if the feeds would come back with some assurance.

I feel sure they would try to bring her to first, if she is able they can try to bring her out of the spell before moving her. I have seen a spoonful of grape jelly save my dad's life on several occassions. I'm sure it will try a while to attend to her and calm this situation down but I too sure would like to know that she's ok.

Also, my dad carries a pack of peanut butter crackers in his pocket at all times. If he starts feeling weak (which is his first symptom) he eats them and it helps. Considering these things and that BB knew her medical condition, I would think they should have at least changed back to PB&J for her benefit.

Eating straight sugar really isn't going to solve the problem. Yes, it might (stress might) have helped prevent her from fainting but straight sugars are just too simple. You digest them quickly, your blood sugar spikes up and then crashes down again.

If her condition is severe enough to cause her to faint, she should never have been allowed medically to enter the house. BB clearly didn't screen the contestants adequately. No big surprise there.

If I eat Jelly or honey, my sugar drops drastically within an hour or two. That stuff makes your blood sugar go extreamly high, then extreamly low. If you don't eat something right away, you will pass out like amanda did.

Don't forget it was chelsia who threw out the word noose. I have a feeling she is a very insecure girl.

Hope Amanda is ok

And Josh and Chelsia are shown the petty and mean people they appear to be.

I'm sure she'll be fully checked out, but it is ridiculous situation.

That gasping is what a person often does when they are hyperventilating due to Panic.

She was trying to get attention from people for a while and it was a short while after she was called out for Lying.

In a sitation involving Hyperventilation, a person needs to breathe into a bag to stop that Gasping for breathe attack.

I'm hypoglycemic, myself.

I would never walk around whining for 15 mins instead of getting something in my stomach.

http://www.diabetes.org/type-1-diabetes/hypoglycemia.jsp

snip:
It's important to treat hypoglycemia quickly because hypoglycemia can get worse and you could pass out. If you pass out, you will need IMMEDIATE treatment, such as an injection of glucagon or emergency treatment in a hospital.

Glucagon raises blood glucose. It is injected like insulin. Ask your doctor to prescribe it for you and tell you how to use it. You need to tell people around you (such as family members and co-workers) how and when to inject glucagon should you ever need it.

If glucagon is not available, you should be taken to the nearest emergency room for treatment for low blood glucose. If you need immediate medical assistance or an ambulance, someone should call the emergency number in your area (such as 911) for help. It's a good idea to post emergency numbers by the telephone.

If you pass out from hypoglycemia, people should:

NOT inject insulin.
NOT give you food or fluids.
NOT put their hands in your mouth.
Inject glucagon.
Call for emergency help.
snip

I hope Sharon doesn't give her a piece of fruit like she just told them.

I just saw a clip posted. She was down for quite a bit before they turned her over and she started gasping. Scary stuff.

WOW took a break...glad I left Real running. How scary and BOY hope Chelsia feels super guilty. Is Amanda on slop?

BTW was any feed on Amanda when it happened? I had the back yard on. Least James ran like the wind and tried to help. Most of the others looked like confused chickens w/their heads cut off. He gets some props from me for that.

Geez and here I thought I was just missing more screaming and nastiness....sure hope she is ok. Wouldn't OJ have been better than bread?

i think people here may be mixing up Diabetes and Simple Hypoglycemia.

It is not the same. Hypoglycemia is not considered on the same par at all.

There is a condition called hypoglycemia in which regular NONdiabetic people have lower than usual blood sugars.

This is completely different than a HYpoglycemic state in a diabetic.

IT is different, one is life threatening, one is not that big of a deal and is NOT life threatening/

I don't really get the feeling she was faking that.
