Thank you so much for the information. I will check out the article and testing information. The symptoms I am experiencing are mostly postprandial as they were before surgery and vary from lightheadedness, numbness of lips and tongue to confusion or just feeling out of it. I manage with glucose tablets primarily. Although I have to be careful, too many too quickly will prompt a 2nd or repeated episodes. I usually try to limit to one and no more than two tablets because of this. My symptoms pre-operatively were the same as they are now. I do keep glucagon kits around but have never had to use one outside of the hospital episode during my first 72 hour fast. I have also learned to be very careful about when I eat relative to when I will need to drive somewhere as my blood sugar will drop within 30 - 1 hour after I eat. For example, I will eat breakfast in the car on my way to work (I work at a hospital) so that my blood sugar will not drop until I am at work and usually before meetings start. It is a balancing act no doubt!
One correction to my previous post - I am 43 not 47 - hit the wrong key and did not catch it. Maybe I can blame it on a hypoglycemic moment! :).
Thanks again for the information. If you have other helpful links, posts or information feel free to send my way. I will be at Mayo at the end of this month.
