Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. How should I deal with low blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Low blood sugar often reoccurs shortly after dinner time, when the energy from the food in the stomach has been depleted, making it easy to experience low blood sugar again. For those who frequently experience recurrent low blood sugar, they usually have a sense of it, such as sweating, hunger, or palpitations. At this time, eating some sugary foods promptly can quickly alleviate the symptoms, so it's a good idea to carry snacks with you.For people with low blood sugar, it's essential to eat dinner on time, especially since energy consumption is higher in the morning. Breakfast is a must. If dietary precautions have been taken but low blood sugar still occurs, it's necessary to visit an endocrinology department for a thorough blood sugar check to determine if there is diabetes or an insulinoma.
