Hypoglycemic episodes

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I am a 60 in distal RNY. I am 21 months post op, and have lost 205 pounds.

Lately, it seems I am having more and more of these hypoglycemic episodes. I

really dont want to start carrying around glucose tablets with me, or candy..

I dont want the temptation of candy nearby.. My sister is severely

hypoglycemic, and her doctor told her that she could use the glucose tablets,

but she had to go eat within 15-30 min after taking one.. and at work, that

is just not always possible.. so not sure glucose tablets would be a good

option for me..

I would like to understand why this is happening so I can correct it.. I

drink my protein, eat a small breakfast.. usually something like a scrambled

egg, have a set of vites, another protein shake mid morning .. water in

between.. probably not enough when at work.. a small lunch.. maybe /s

chili, or a small amount of salad with some type protein .. like grilled

chicken, another protein shake on way home... dinner... usually a meat, and

some veggies.. another protein shake early evening.. and again bedtime.. also

vites with meals.. and a bedtime snack.. like a handful of cashews, or mix of

nuts, pretzels, etc.

maybe some peanut butter on a couple crackers..

Anyone have any ideas? I am talking to my pcp today about this. and see

what her reccomendation is..

Take care

Hugs,
