I think Alka-Seltzer lowers my blood sugar!

[GregGolden]

So I took some Alka-Seltzer Cold and Cough, the kind that you drop in water and drink, anyway, I took that, and took a nap. Woke up 2 hours later and my blood sugar was 30.

Ok, so I thought maybe having that hypo was from my swim practice earlier in the day. So the day goes on, and before Im about to go to bed, around 12am, I took another dose of the Alka-Seltzer. Woke up around 2 and a half hours later and my blood sugar was 33!

So I was thinking, maybe the Alka-Seltzer is lowering my BS. I had 2 cookies around 1130pm and did not give myself any insulin, because I dident think it was neccesary for eating 2 cookies. Does anyone have an answer for what was going on?

I think you're making too much hypothesis from too little of data.

I'm thinking you need to figure out why your belly is bothering you. hehehehe.

Ok ok, I am going to buy some Alka Seltzer!!!!

What was your BG before you took the A-S? That's the key question. Otherwise, swimming will certainly continue to lower your blood sugar for around 24 hours after actually swimming, and illness can cause fluctuations in BG too.

I had a chocolate milk and covered it with 3 units. I also wasnt very ill, I had a sore throat and a cough.

Too little data to make a conclusion, but no one can discount your theory either.
