Non-Diabetic low blood sugar - help!

May 06, 2016

Firstly, I did mention this to my surgeon who seemed to brush me off a bit. But at my appt last week I didn't have any blood sugar readings for him, only told him I wake up feeling shaky and weak.

I don't have diabetes. I was sleeved on 4/4 and have lost 34 lbs (HW was 277).

The last few days I've woken up shaky. I decided to test my blood sugars - this morn it was 58 - anything below 70 is considered hypoglycemic. I drank a little bit of juice, drank about 1/2 of a protein shake and it didn't go up much. I ate two eggs and it was like 72....ffwd a few hours and it was 52!

My surgeon said its not unlikely for WLS to develop reactive hypoglycemia - but that is caused from eating carbs. I'm just now 5-6 days into my pureed food diet and I haven't been eating hardly any carbs. Yesterday I had 9g of carbs that came from my Protein shakes - ones that are approved by them. I also had 510 calories and like 68 g of protein.

What is going on? Anyone else deal with this? It sucks, it's scary and it makes me feel like crap!
