HELP! I have a cold or something and I now am at 48 for a glucose level. I tried to eat yogurt like the doc recommended but I just throw it right back up. what do I do to get my level at a better place?

try very small sips of FLAT Sprite or 7-up -full sugar. Hope this helps.

I drink some Orange juice. That brings my glucose back up. and I get to enjoy OJ (I love it).

Thanks! Sorry for replying so late but I found out I had the flu and have been really sick since Thursday. I am finally feeling better today and was able to keep down a SF Popsicle.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I got some apple juice cause I LOVE apple juice.

i"m a type 1 diabetic for 24 years. a friend who has had the bypass was told by her dr to use the glucose tabs.  When you are that low, you can chomp a tab - hold it in your mouth, let it melt, it will start to enter into the system to bring up your levels. 1 tab is only 4 cho - best bet to take when the sugars are that low.  hope that is helpful. I know with RNY you are not suppose to have sugar, so talk to Dr about this.. i'm just passing the info along.. if I was 48 i'd be feeling pretty miserable
