Yesterday my glucose dropped to 49. That's the lowest I've ever seen it. Scared me. I know I've had this for a while but I didn't think it would get to this level. I guess I have to watch what I eat with a little more vigilence.

Mine almost never gets that low but it does drop too much if I eat carbs without any protein.

I'll bet you felt like crap.
That's really really low.
The problem with mine is when it happens it kinda messes up the whole day. It's like being on a bad glucose roller coaster.
Was there a particular food that triggered this? Too long between meals?
Take care girl!

Eat a little more often and make it protein first.

With our surgery, it's all to easy NOT to eat, when that is (almost) the worst thing we can do
to ourselves.

Good luck!

You know, we had lunch at Culver's (half a burger) then I had half of a small soft serve. I'll bet anything it was a rebound from the sugar. Probably spiked my glucose and then tanked it. I just find it so interesting since I had eaten protein(burger) with it. Maybe I'm just getting a real sensitivity to any kind of sugar. I don't know, but I won't be doing that again. Thanks for all the responses.

Sugar has a much greater effect on our endocrine system than just a complex carb. That's
why it's so toxic.

There's nothing like a negative learning experience!

Best wishes
