Several episodes of blood sugars dropping
I have type 2 and take 14 g of rybelsus and 10 m of glipizide. My a1c went from 9 to 6. My problem is I get low blood sugar episodes and I have to stuff my face with oj or sweets until I come back to life, usually a couple hours. Seems to happen in afternoons around 3 to 5 and tends to occur after I've eaten. I tried cutting out the glipizide but my a1c went up to 7. Any suggestions.
Hi
. Have you talked with your doctor about the blood sugar drops? You might need an adjustment in your medication. I wonder whether eating an extra snack around 2 p.m. or so might help as well. One helpful option might be a continuous glucose monitor. Even if you use one for only a couple of weeks, it might help you identify the triggers and address them. I hope you get some input from others who have had similar experiences. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
