Has anyone had problems with this?  I tested my level the other morning, and it was 55.  I see my surgeon next week, and plan on asking him.  I also have an appt with my regular doc the following week. 

Mornings and mid afternoon seem to be when I feel like this.  I also get a slight headache and a craving for Orange Juice.  I drink about 6 oz and then feel fine. Thanks in advance for any input

Let me know what your Dr says. I suffer from shaking episodes and need to get this under control. Usually it goes away after 30 minutes or so. I am interested to see if this is common with us. Suzanne

Pam, I've had problems with hypoglycemia for the last year or so, but it comes and goes without warning.  Dr. said to keep extra protein handy and eat 6 small meals a day, and as long as I do that, I'm pretty good.  What seems to trigger episodes is change in exercise habits and not eating enough protein through the day.  Dietitian said to keep hard candies in my pocket for emergencies and I have gluco-tabs in my purse.  My BS has gotten as low as 53 so I know how you feel.  From what I've been told this is becoming more common with RNY patients and there are studies being done. Good luck with your doc. Denyse
