Sugar Dumping- Men

I found I do not dump on sugar when two months out my blood sugar

went really low one night (dropped to 11). The only way to get it

back up quickly was two big spoons of sugar in some warm water. I

have talked to other men and they also do not dump on sugar. How

many of you do or do not dump with sugar?

Dennis, I don't really know, and I like it that way! I do not eat sugar if I can

avoid it. And I usually don't eat much fat... I don't think I've ever dumped but

very, very mildly once, and I know that was sugar... a teaspoon in a cup of

coffee and I drank half...

Boy, guys have all the luck - lose really fast, and no dumping... Pshaw! LOL

I really don't think this is just a guys issue. It seems that I have

heard several women mention that they don't dump with sugar either. I

know that the hyperglycemia thing is common among men and women after

surgery.

I don't dump immediately on small amounts of sugar. Although I have never really

pushed it. An occasional something with a little sugar doesn't seem to bother

me. Even on Thanksgiving, I had a taste of a few pies and cakes with no

immediate adverse effects. However, about 3 hours later, a little low blood

sugar incident. I spent Christmas Day at the home of a support group member, so

everything was sugar free, except for the Jack s. LOL

However, I do experience what has been called " late dumping " and sometimes the

" sleepies " . About 2 or 3 hours after having a few too many carbs, I feel the

drop in blood sugar. Sometimes after an occasional small portion of white

carbs, I'll just want to lie down for about an hour. The other late dump occurs

if I have just a little too much fat such as in a steak or should I sneak in a

piece of skin from chicken, about 4 or 5 hours later, I will be in the immediate

need of the latrine. No sweating, palpitations or hurling.

I have been wondering how accurate this is: I recall being at an

information meeting with one of the surgeons who was currently at Mt. Sinai in

NYC, and

the topic of dumping came up, and he said that while most postop patients

experience dumping during the first year or two, nearly 70% will no longer

experience it thereafter. Anyone know if this is true, or have heard the same?

Well, from my personal experience, at over 3 1/2 years out, I dump worse now

than I ever did. Sometimes I can't explain why even. I didn't touch sugar

at all the first 14 months after surgery, so I can't say what it would have

been like. Now, even the hidden sugars get me....ie in salad dressings and

such. So, in my case, to date, this is false.
