This morning i had my tooth removed my sugars have been good but right now it is 5.4 does anyone have advice on how to treat low blood sugars after getting their tooth removed
 
Some kind of sweet drink? (If you don't want to eat).
Personally I wouldn't worry about 5.4 but am guessing that you are concerned that you will continue dropping?

Hi I recently had an extraction myself and my sugars strayed low 3.4 afterwards. My Dentist is brilliant they ask me to check my blood sugar levels before they commence any work and afterwards too. I was worried about trying to eat following the extraction to raise my blood sugar to within normal levels for me around 9.4, I have an Orange juice box with my crash kit and used that to bring my level up, I have that and dextrose tablets to hand for any crash in my level.
