Hi all..Ive researched the site, but not finding quite the answer im looking for. Im hoping someone can help. My husband is abt 4 months from virgin DS. He was a serious diabetic presurgery, but within a week his numbers were in the low to mid 80s most days.
Lately he's been dealing with extremely low sugar levels, around 55 to 60. He'd eat hard candy and it would eventually rise. Over the weekend we noticed it was dropping more often, and taking more sugary f oods to make it rise. Obviously, he doesnt want to start gorging on sugars again. He called his Primary and asked for a referral to an endo..which they are working on. But his sugar dropped to 38...several times today, and he had to drink alot of fruit juice and eat fresh fruit to get it to stabilize . The best our primary could advise was to go the ER if it became too unstable bc it would be 2 weeks before the endo appt.
Obviously he'll go to the ER if this becomes too much for us to manage on our own. I just wanted to get advice from vets who's been through this. Best practices and how to navigate conversations with the endo or any other dr.
Thanks in advance for your help.
