Eye scan

[suekt139]

has anyone found their sugars drop after eye scan I am on Lantau and novorapid insulins and this is the first time
I have had a scan while taking insulin I am type 2 but none of the tablets were working.

I assume you mean the retina scan where you are, usually, given drops to dilate your pupils and then they take a photo of your retina. I have not experienced any affect on my BG by this.

Do you experience any stress or worry about having the scan taken? This would raise your BG beforehand and, as a result of the relief of getting it done, you may see a drop.

Hi @suekt139

I agree with Helensaramay that it could well be stress causing the drop. I've had that before.
