Guest guest Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I am a diabetic and so I am always focused on my glucose levels. Did your doc say " sugar " or did he mean carbs? Since carbs break down into sugar he may have just meant to start taking in a few more carbs each day. Can you get a glucometer to test your blood regularly? Most insurances will cover them if you have a doctor's order for one. Candi low glucose levels?? I just got my one year postop blood done and I have low glucose levels... Has anyone else had problems with this? My reg. MD says to have sugar more often, which is opposite of my surgeon.. I am not sure what to do. I have been really light headed and I have fainted a few times lately too. Any words of advice would be great. Also what other blood tests did you all how are one year post op get done?
