doing very well so far 38 lbs off since Aug 20 th always had high sugars but this week I am running 65-89 all day after morning meds. cant get to doctor till Monday and will send email tonight but I wounder why this is going on and what to do? I know we have nurses here so thought maybe they could help. Yes I have been under some stress so maybe that is what it is.Line-dancer

are you diabetic ? if not go get tested asap!!! having high blood sugars when your food intake is reduced is very odd.

Is it possible since you lost some weight, you no longer need the medication for high blood sugar and taking it is making you bottom out?

I was also a diabetic and a nurse. I left the hospital off meds. Blood glucose levels have been stable. I check daily, more than I did with diabetes.

Are you insulin diabetic or non-insulin dependent?

So, remember that when your weight goes down your body metabolises sugars with higher efficiency which means your insulin levels decrease. If you're insulin dependent, make sure you're adjusting your doses accordingly. If you're on oral meds and are getting lows, you'll probably need to have your meds reduced, and make sure you've got some low blood sugar foods sticking around (dex 4 tabs or juice or something...sugar tabs work best because juice ends up filling the stomach. I had a hard time with lows my first week banded because my stomach couldn't handle much and I ended up using sugar tables that dissolved). Either way, sounds like you need a med adjustment.
