Message: <blockquote data-quote="HarleyRH" data-source="post: 1682785" data-attributes="member: 468363">I don’t have a glucose drip, I was on one in hospital as they suspected I had addisons and that’s why I was dropping. I cannot change what I eat as it’s pretty much all feed from a bag that I cannot alter, tube fed in to my small intestine as I cannot digest properly due to gastroparesis. So my GI said it was reactive and did mention dumping from my intestine but I also drop if I haven’t had anything so I’m basically just chronically hypoglycemic. For the past 3 days my glucose levels have been under 3.9 75% of the time. Right now it is 3.7 and has been under 4 for the past 3 hours, I have no way to bring it up and that frightens me. When I could eat I was keto for other health reasons (not weight) so it saddens me that I can’t go back to it as I know it’s brilliant.  Currently I’m only feeding at night as I know fasting during the day is the most helpful for  energy for me but I do still stay low even when fasting. Yes I have tested with traditional monitors and know that my glucose does fall in to low 2s at least every 2 days. Thank you everyone for your advice, I’ll wait on the endo appointment, just completely exhausted right now.</blockquote>
