Oh My!! I am on a new med...glyberide...with metformin. Yesterday I experienced some low sugars but today it was worse! I had a decent breakfast and within 3 1/2 hours my sugar was down to 63!It was horrible!! I have never felt that way. Oh boy...now I am starting to understand how important it is to EAT! I am finding it hard to figure out the correct balance of my food. Tomorrow my Mom is coming over to try to help me make up a new effective food plan. Oh boy....I have heard people say that type 2 diabetes is nothing....well I am so sick of this disease and I have only been aware that I have it for a year now. It is so frustrating!!!!! I felt so awful today.............I cannot explain how I felt other than extremely shakey....hot...confused and afraid! I could barely hold my glass to drink some juice to try to raise my sugar! Oh my goodness what a frightening experience Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!!

Hoping I will get some responses!!

Have you contacted your doctor? Your dose might need some tweaking.

And have you considering eating small but frequent meals? That seems to help me a lot.

Thanks for responding Fanfaire! Today was another rough day...my sugar dropped to 45...I have not been so bad off before...very confused....that goodness my Mom and Dad happened in...she is helping me learn how to combine my foods. I think what messed me up today was I had to fast for an ultrasound...I did not eat untill late and sorta skipped my snack and napped instead...bad move. I am going to give it a few more days and try to make those days perfect...if that does not help them I will be calling the doctor. Small meals do not seem to raise my sugars enough...frequent snacking seems to help though. Thanks again!
