Blood sugars

[OscarT 0]

I had my surgery in Jan of this year. Everything has been going great until this month. I have been having alot of sugar lows. Dangerous lows. For you all out there that have had to deal with a problem such as this. Is there any foods that help your sugar levels stay stable longer? I get tired of eating banana's all the time. Any suggestions? Thank you

Hey Oscar T ...try eating fruit with a higher sugar content. Berries ( blue, raspberry, strawberry) they are also high in Fiber and anti-oxidants, mangoes and cherries and some apples all have a little higher sugar (good sugar not to worry ) than bananas.

I have the same concerns and would appreciate any advice.

I am really really trying to eat something small every 2 hours. It's not easy but it is helping. And not big meals but something small. Sometimes it's cottage cheese mixed with something. Or fruit of some sort. I do have to add in a carb to keep my sugars up. I practice, practice. So things are a bit better.

I am concerned about Clear Liquids right after surgery especially. How do I get carbs in?

Honestly after my surgery I continued on clear fluids for 2 weeks. I drank or I should say sipped my Water, tea, Gadorade(which helped me a lot with hydration) others drink Poweraide as well. I had Jello because it basically melted in my mouth. Homemade chicken broth so I could get in some nutrients during this healing time. And all you do is sip sip sip all day. For any medications I had to take, I just crushed them up. It's not pleasant at all but you only have to do it for a short time. The days do fly by.
