That is extremely low for me, as my numbers have been in the 300's. This was about a 1/2 hour after lunch. Ok, my questions is: Is it ok to eat a few pieces of candy to get it back up? I am at work and didn't have anything here so I went to the gas station (the only thing within a mile) and got some junior mints and good and Plentys. I ate about 6 junior mints (the mini ones) and started to feel better. I checked my sugar about 1/2 hour after eating the mints and it is 149. I am going to keep a box of them in my desk and I have some in my car if it happens again. I'm thinking if I keep on dieting and exercising like I am supposed to, I might have to have my meds adjusted. I stopped taking the Actos as of 2 days ago so I guess I will just have to log everything and talk to my doctor in June.
Thanks. | If your blood sugar dropped that much after eating lunch you may want to add some complex carbs to your meal i.e. brown rice, whole grain bread or pasta, etc. Only reson your blood sugar would drop after eating is your body did not get enough carbs.
