Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 yes, it is. It may affect some people more than others. As a nurse, I used to see some really unusual reaction to medications that did not affect the majority of people-but others were really hit hard with some supposedly " harmless " meds. Re: Surgery You ask a very interesting question, and all I can do is relate my actual personal experience with hhigh dosing of vitamin C and glucose readings. While on high doses of Vitamin C, dosing to bowel tolerance I managed to keep my glucose reading in the desired range, but whenever I experienced a low sugar reaction, shakes, sweats and palpatations, I took a glucose reading and each time the reading was around 60 65. So for diabetics, who can experience conciously a low glucose reaction, I don't believe high doses of vitamin C would much of a problem. For those diabetics who do not have conscious low sugar reactions, this would be a problem. Of course this is just my personal opinion.
