Treating Lows Post Op

I am wondering what others use to treat a low blood sugar after they've had the RNY surgery.  Is it any different than before you had surgery?  Looking for some good suggestions so I'm prepared.  Thanks!!

It's no different for me.  If I feel like it's dropping, I eat half an apple or some little snack that's healthy.  Just check your glocuse often to make sure you know where you are.  At some point you will need to get off all meds but for now check on regular basis and eat what you are allowed to eat. 
I haven't lost much weight yet but my glucose is much lower than pre op.  Hope this helps you.

Normally, everything you eat will be processed by your body and turn into a form of sugar called glucose. This glucose is where your body gets energy, but before your body gets this energy, your body needs to pump the glucose (that was previously produce from eating) to every cell of your body with the help of insulin. Insulin are basically produce by the pancreas. Any abnormal behavior within the process would result in either Type 1 (mostly, hereditary) or Type 2 diabetes which is often cause by being overweight (obese) or sedentary (non-active) lifestyle.

I've recently developed low blood sugar issues and woudl appreciate any ideas or suggestions on coping.

As I am losing the weight my need for insulin is dropping so I have hit a few lows along the way. It took a few tried to find what worked for me because a lot of the things I used to treat my lows before, I cant tolerate them now. I found that apple juice works best for me, 4 oz usually does it and it agrees with the pouch. Everyone is different just keep trying till you find the thing that works for you.
