Shaky, sweating, lightheaded?

[Corrigan 75]

There have been a number of people here who have reported that they are shaky sweating, and lightheaded. Any diabetic

can tell you that these are the classic symptoms of low blood sugar. It seems to be fairly common

with the pre and postop liquid diets. Most diabetics know that glucose will end those symptoms

fruit juice, table sugar or even a piece of bread will help. There's nothing wrong with these diets

and we'll all get used to lower blood sugar levels in a short while, we just need to be aware of

what's going on. Mine was 150 to 200, now with 50 lbs lost, it's 80 to 100 and I feel fine.

Low blood sugar can be dangerous if it's allowed to get too low.

congrats on the 80-100! i cant wait to get my reading under 100. is one of my non-weight goals.

i am actually doing this to get rid of diabetes, which means lower blood sugar levels. i started with insulin shots and two oral medications and just with first week, specially with the liquid diet, i am only doing the insulin shots and a lower dose of that. remember most of us have been over indulging and like any drug(yes food can be a drug) youre going to go through withdrawals too.

Same here, I was on 3 shots and 4 pills a day, now I'm down to 1 small shot and could probably

do without it (security blanket). Aint it great?

yesss! i was so happy to get rid of metformin. the thing killed my stomach. got rid of that and amaeryl. next to go is the shot. just be careful your shot doesnt make you go hypoglycemic. it can happen if your blood sugar normals out on its own and still taking the insulin.

It could also be your pain medication if you are still taking some... Thats what happened to me
