Good morning, with me it is anything with sugar or carbs. It drives up your sugar levels and then you drop drastically. My insurance only pays a small portion of my CGM but the price for me to be able to be independent and drive is worth it. At least I have a warning to pull over. I have failed all three of the medication’s and my endocrinologist is sending a referral to Mayo as we speak. I was put in the hospital from the acarbose. It caused free air in my colon that was a couple nights stay till they figured it out. The surgeon came in and said normally when they see that they do surgery immediately. that was one of the main reasons I did not like the acarbose as I could not go anywhere in public because of the gas. but also my primary care was the one that had me on 100 mg of that stuff and never did help the PHH which stands for post hypoglycemia after surgery.
My father always told me to think of your body as your vehicle if you put the wrong gas or no oil, your engine isn’t gonna run properly. I am 62 and due to my gastric bypass back in 2007 all my large joints and bones are riddled with arthritis due to malabsorption is what I was told. I have had back surgery right hip replaced and left full knee replacement. I am in so much pain from my body. It will be a miracle if Mayo can fix me. No one wants to live like this. I’m pretty much worthless. My best advice to you is take all your vitamins. They tell you to take and eat what you’re told to eat.
