Anyone have problems like this?
I have seen my surgeon and primary Drs about this problem but, would like to
know if any of you experienced this and what you do about it.
I get severe hypoglycemia (to the point of almost passing out - low 40s). I
get this very frequently…sometimes everyday. I usually take the dextro
tablets made for this and when I can eat, I eat a peanut butter sandwich or
crackers. It is not like when I was on insulin and I would get very shakey,
sweat, and
hungry. Now there is little warning til pretty low and then I get extremely
nauseated and rarely shakey and sweaty. Sometimes I get it up only to have
further problems with it throughout the day and night. This started around six
months and I am now nine months out. This hits so hard it pretty much stops what
ever I am doing and I feel bad for a good while afterwards.
My surgeon said to eat every 2 hours, limit simple carbs and no sugar. I
don’t eat sugar - diab. I do eat sugar free stuff and he said that was ok. I
think
my blood sugar is creeping back up some too? I am to see an endocrinologist
but have not yet. My surgeon said I may have this the rest of my life. I put
out too much insulin at times than I need. Gee, and I was insulin resistant.
Just hard to process!
If you have been here or are here, any info would be greatly appreciated.
