Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hi All, I have a pt one year post op who came to see me today. She has been experiencing hypoglycemic episodes (sometimes as low as 50). Pt is currently 5'5" and weighs 143. I recommended small frequent meals containing 15g carbohydrate at each meal w/ some protein. I told her to avoid simple sugars and to consume mostly whole grains. Any suggestions when her blood sugar drops too low? Should I recommend juice since it will bring her sugar up more quickly? (I am worried about the dumping, but if its only in 4 oz portions?) She will be keeping a food log for me along w/ a blood sugar log for our next visit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, O'Donnell RD, LDSMMC Any questions?
