Reactive hypoglycemia



Recommended Posts

Hello!!

I've had a few episodes of my blood sugar going as low as 45...I am guessing it is reactive hypoglycemia due to symptoms that happen alongside the low number. My questions: 1.anyone else dealing with this? I am almost 18mos out from bypass.

2. What do you eat when you are super low that brings sugars up but not too high, perpetuating the cycle?

3. Once there was a CLEAR reason: I sort of let myself get guilted into eating a slice of birthday cake; but the other times I really don't know what caused the low blood sugars.

I am trying to get into a nutritionist but with my work schedule I am having difficulty.

Any thoughts or inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!!

@@doyouhear this happens to me when I don't pay attention to what I am eating. I even had my doctor give me a meter to track my sugars. I have to be conscious to stick to my high Protein diet and take in NO MORE THAN 6 grams of sugar in my meals. Luckily, the feeling passes within about 30 minutes but that 30 minutes is the worst thing of my life.

I just have to be SUPER diligent on what I eat, how much, and when. Consistency is the key.

I hope this helps you!! Good luck on staying steady! :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
