You should talk to your doctor again… diabetes is complex and it may take a few tries before you and your doctor find the right medicine for you. Keep an open line of communication with your doctor and always be honest with them about what is going on. Your doctor is probably very well aware of all of the things you will experience in the beginning. You will be dealing with a lot physically and mentally. Your doctor is on your side and may be one of the few who will understand….
Well the normal range for blood sugar is between 70-110 so if your blood sugar goes down that’s perfectly fine and it means the medication is doing it’s job. Don’t stop taking it because aparently without it, it seems that your blood sugar gets pretty high and that can be dangerous. If your blood sugar should happen to fall too low after the medication then just you would notice dizziness, sweating, shakiness, and at that point notify your doctor, but 60-90 is definitely not that low like I said normal range is 70-110. Good luck!
Ask your doctor about a referral to a dietician. You may need to spread your allowed caloric intake out over some in between meals to maintain a normal blood sugar level.
Are you type 1? Anyways my son who is 5 is type one diabetic. He takes his insulin right after he eats. He only does that because we never know how much he’s going to eat. He will drop within an hour and a half each time because he’s still going through the honeymooning phase of his diabetes. Are you on a fast acting insulin or a 24 hour insulin? My son was on both at first then the doctor took him off of the 24 hour one because of his lows. Now 60-90 is a little low but not dangerously low. Just eat a small snack to get you up a little. Since my son is still honeymooning I’ve seen his sugar as low as 39. Talk about scary!!! But he’s on a very low amount of insulin and still can drop that low because part of his pancreas is still working. If you at anytime have question regarding your diabetes always call your doctor. Best of luck
You are not eating right, and your meds may need to be adjusted again. This happens a lot with people that are newly diagnosed and just start medications. When your blood sugar starts to go too low, don’t do juice or sugar, it will raise the blood sugar quickly and then let it drop just as fast. Save these things for when your blood sugar is really bad and you are feeling faint. When you feel a low episode coming on, eat something like a granola bar or some grahmam crackers and peanut butter. These are carbs and will raise your blood sugar, but keep it stable for a longer period of time. You and your doctor will have to work together and find the medications and dosage that works best for your. It may take a little while, but don’t get discouraged. Get a dietitian or nutritionist to help your with your meals. Usually they will tell you to have 45 carbs at each meal. Your snacks should be around 15 carbs each. It can vary from person to person depending on what the nutritionist finds, but this is most common. Stay away from white breads and anything made with white flour, including pasta. No white rice or white potatoes. Eat the proper snack in between meals and you may not get the low readings. If you have a problem with low blood sugar when you are asleep, eat a snack before going to bed.
When you don’t eat, take less medication. Keep granola bars for snacks.
