Are you taking any diabetic medications. If so adjust accordingly. You should stop until you see your doctor.

Yes, your meds might be bumping you down too low. Get in to your doc ASAP, this is very serious. You do not want your sugars to fall dangerously low while you're sleeping.

I stopped my meds immediately post op and had I stayed on them I would have had a problem. Within just a few days of surgery my sugars were high-normal, even though I had actually gained weight from the IV and travel!

Drink some apple juice in the meantime and get to your doc!

Update us and let us know you're doing alright, please.

Best of luck,

Then something isn't right and I urge you to get into the doctor so they can figure that out. Are you eating enough? That might be your issue - if you're still severely restricted and not getting in many calories it could be keeping your sugars very low.

Normal sugars range from 70-100 (fasting) and should peak at 135-145 (postprandial), or at least that's why my doc had me following.

So if your fasting sugars are around 50 in the morning, you might need to eat right before bed. In any case, I was always told that 50 was the high point of the danger zone, and that I should immediately have fast acting sugars to push my levels back up. Anything below 50 and you're tempting a serious risk.

I'm not sure how frequently you test but I tested first thing in the morning, 30 minutes after each meal and right before bed. When I wanted to see how a particular food affected my system I also tested immediately before eating and 30 minutes after eating, just to see what I needed to avoid.

If you can't get in to a doctor soon, I recommend at the very least testing immediately before bed and eating something or drinking juice if your numbers need boosting, and checking first thing in the morning to see the effect.

I'd still be concerned about your levels falling too low while you sleep if you're riding the line at 50 all day long!
