sugar crash today

well my ulcer is doing better, at least its not hurting as much.. today i ate a atkins low carb protien bar and took my vitamins and on my way to work i started feeling bad, by the time i got to work i was having a full blown low sugar attack.. weird.... im so sick of this happening to me. it was embarassing, I ate a half of turkey on wheat with cheese and 4 grapes and then finallystarted to feel better, It was bad.. what the heck did i do to cause it?

Hi Sheila. So you had surgery in 2004 and you are still having low blood sugar problems?? I am sorry to hear that. I am also disappointed to hear that. I am 11 months out from surgery and I started having low blood sugar attacks last month when I passed out from one. Now, it seems like my sugar is staying low all the time and it drops low a couple of hours after eating and I start feeling it. I do not understand it since I do not eat sugar or bad carbs (bread/pasta). I am pretty upset about it so it is disappointing to know that it may still be happening to me that far out if it is still happening to you. Did you have problems with diabetes before surgery? I was hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) since my early teenage years but it changed and I became diabetic (Type II) about 2 years ago. I have not had to take any medicine for diabetes since the day of my surgery. I never thought I would go back to low blood sugar attacks. I just do not know what to do. I have brought a snack - pretzels - and I have to eat a few at work every couple of hours or I will start to feel a low blood sugar attack coming on. Has your Dr said anything to you about it? I don't guess there is anything they can do but I just do not want to deal with this and I was hoping it was only a temporary problem that would go away soon. I guess that was wishful thinking!

well, i never had any sugar problems before surgery..I most of the time eat pretty good too, watching sugars and carbs, stuff like that, but regretably i do suffer with low sugar all the time. its an obsoption problem.. to fast.. crap like that.. it stinks but the surgery is still worth it most days..sheila
