Low Blood Sugar

So after living with diabetes and a fasting blood sugar of 130+, I am faced with a new issue. My blood sugar is now in the lower 60's. I am happy it is now low however this is also dangerous. I was told that it would rise as my body started to use up all the stored fat. Has anyone else experienced this issue and what did you do until the fat burning kicked in?

I am 100% off all medications except those given to me because of the surgery. I have health care professional's in my family that is watching over me and they said it is a normal side effect for our type of procedures. They did tell me to carry dissolvable glucose tabs just in case it goes to low. The good news is I will know when my fat burning engine kicks in because it will go back up.

My blood sugar only got really low 45ish right after surgery and it only happened once. It has been great ever since. Maybe eat a little more often. I have never heard of it going back up once the fat burning kicks in??
