We can't get an appointment for 2 weeks for his doctor so we won't know for a while. I am sure there is SOMETHING wrong with his pancreas. >> Catie: I know I logged on late, but get him to the Emergency Room....there are such things as thyroid problems and pancreatic tumors....if he is symptomatic and it's recent onset, he should be checked out NOW sorry, hit the touchpad too soon. He's getting surges in insulin production...not normal, and it's not safe....do it soon!!! Joan!!! << I don’t know why and he feels like we all do…slow sleepy not himself.

He has been having VERY low blood sugars, in the 40s, and he is NOT diabetic. Why would this happen. He is going through swings from 200 to 39. I got him his own blood test meter so he can keep track until he gets in to see the doctor. I was just hoping you guys might have some ideas. Catie >> Hi Catie: get him to the doctor PDQ - pretty damn quick. He could be dealing with infection or something might be going on with his pancreas.....don't wait....Joan:) << This is a bit off topic but something odd is happening with my husband. He

Don’t they also advise snacks of nuts and cheese as well as small meals to

We will check his fasting and I have had him STOP THE CANDY AND SUGAR EATING!!! (poor baby loved those pop tarts for breakfast) and eating protein with his carbs. He is feeling better today and hasn't had any lows. I am thinking this is answering my question too. No candy no lows.... Catie, My mil had hypoglycemia and every time she ate a high carb meal, her pancreas would over compensate and produce too much insulin and her blood sugar would drop very low. I'm not sure if she ever went up as high as 200, however. After many years of this, she is now a type 2 diabetic. Maybe you dh is heading that direction. What's his fasting bg? If it's over 126, he would be diagnosed diabetic. I agree that he needs to be seen asap. Good luck and keep us updated. Have him eat protein with every meal to slow down the carbs. That's the advice they give hypoglycemics. --Jeana Ü That is just what I am thinking too. We will check his fasting and I have had
