What If I Ignore It?

Hi Jen,

Yes, that makes sense. From what I read, hypoglycemia is often caused by diabetes medications. There are several members here with diabetes who can probably give you better advice then I can. Do you eat some protein when you get symptoms too? Just seems like that would help, but I am no expert.

I have major issues with quick drops in my sugar levels & am also working on raising money for a diabetic service dog for help with my lows so I am always needing to keep my sugar as stable as possible & need to be able to get it up quickly & keep it up. Does that make sense?

You should read this post. This persons experience is not unusual. Following the diet doesn't make BS issues worse, it often helps them.

Yes I am on an insulin pump. I actually just upgraded my pump the first of this year to the newest version of the one I was on.

I read the post but she is a type 2 diabetic which means with proper diet & usually exercise type 2 diabetics can live with out the need for insulin. But I am insulin dependant, my body makes no insulin & will remain on it for the rest of my life.
