Diabetes?

[619Raf 111]

So I have been diabetic for years, blood sugars always 250 or higher even with medicine. I am one week postop and my blood sugar right now is 80 and I feel very sick, I forgot to ask what I can drink to bring my sugars up a little, everything I have is sugar free. Someone help?

Hello,

I'm a type one diabetic and sleeved. normal range is 70-120 fasting. I now have more low blood sugars after surgery. I use my insulin once in a great while. My dietitian gave me advice that if my blood sugar drops to drink watered down orange juice. When its watered down it doesn't upset my tummy as much. I also have glucose tablets with me when I'm out of the house.

I figured 80 is normal, but I just don't think my body is used to it. My speech seems slurred and I am very shaky. I am going to try watered down orange juice. Thank you ????

Hope it helps. It will take a while for you're body to adjust to new blood sugar levels.

I have type 2 and know what you're going through. 80 is normal (for people without diabetes) but your body is not use to such a low and that's why you're feeling bad. Check with your doctor about what would be most appropriate for you to bring it back up a little so you feel better. Hang in there! We're still trying to figure out the best combo for me. It'll take a little time
