[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2139056, member: 475037"] The reason you went so high would be 2 bananas and OJ, each banana is about 25 carbs and 8 oz of OJ is about 25 carbs. That would be consuming 75 carbs of almost pure sugar. That would be why your BG level went up to 177 when you have a sugar issue. That is a lot of carbs to correct a low. Earlier on I corrected my lows with 15 carbs and was told to repeat that if needed. Ask your doctor what they recommend for you. Retest next time to confirm the reading, but if it happens where you are dropping that much you might start reading about Reactive Hypoglycemia. People drop after a certain amount of time after they eat. You also need to make sure your doctor knows right away if you are actually dropping to those levels. [/QUOTE]
