Low blood sugar...

Hi guys. I'm not eating enough today, and now I have low blood sugar (75). Last night I tried Wispride cheese (someone somewhere suggested it).....UGH! Couldn't get it up, couldn't sit or stand....went to bed finally. But still don't feel great today, so not eating much at all (2 oz. protein shake this am, and 1/2 a low-fat cheese stick)...... What can/should I eat to get this blood sugar up? Claudia

Hi there Claudia, Your blood sugar at 75 is pretty good if you ask me. I am an ex insulin diabetic and mine is about that every morning. I went to Trader Joes and bought whole wheat pita bread. I toast it real well. Sometimes we need a bit of carbs. Did you try lactaid and no sugar added carnation instant breakfast . That tastes great also. The whole key to eating from my experience is chewing well. It will get better ok. Just hang in there. Lorraine

Thanks, Lorriane. I find a fasting sugar of 75 to be fine, but if I dip that low again during the day, I'm a hurting unit (I'm hypoglycemic). The applesauce helped, and I'm starving tonight, so I'm working on protein....but I like the pita idea. I haven't been able to find the nsa carnation instant b-fast yet.....good old boonies. I took a full 30 min to eat tonight, and found I was able to get a bit more in....thank goodness! Thinking I'll follow up w/ a bit of tea in a while.....yum! Claudia
