Bad Labs

Friday I had my labs drawn after having drinking that sweet stuff.  It was not a fasting lab.  Today my ob's office called to say my blood sugar is really low and I should eat more.  Of course, I eat constantly, and if I'm not eating I'm sleeping.  They also said I should take more iron supplements.  What gives?  I'm gaining weight like a grizzly bear preparing for a long winter AND THEY WANT ME TO EAT MORE? 

Has anyone else had this happen?

I had to go to the ER yesterday and they did blood work and told me I was animic as well.  I of course already knew this...having been this way since being pregnant the last time. I am thinking that's why I am so tired all the time.  Guessing I will need to up my iron pills too. 

Not sure on the eating part though, I would just eat what you can and if your blood sugar isn't making you pass out or feel dizzy then I think you are ok.  I know that my bs gets low and I need to eat or drink something with sugar in it, I can feel it coming on though. 

good luck,
Bambi

Maybe try calling your surgeon's office or the nut about it. 

Are you eating enough protein?  Maybe the sustained burn isn't enough?

Did you get your actual lab numbers?  Which iron labs were low?

I doubt I was eating enough protein.  I bought some EAS shakes today and I was Rx some super-duper iron pills.  We'll see how this works out and see if some of the fatigue disappears.
