Jardiance issue

[b40361]

Im 45 5'11 310. I Compete in both powerlifting and bodybuilding for last 30 yrs. So last 2 yrs I started having sugar issues. Pretty much started out of no where. Went for physical my sugar was 290 and A1C was 9.8. Pretty bad well I started on jardiance in 3 months my A1C was down to 5.8 my sugar is between 90 and 120 usually. Here is my issue my sugar has been dropping rapidly. Before the gym I drink 15 Oz of cranberry during workouts I have 32 Oz of Gatorade. Then post workout is always 8 oz chicken and 2 cups green beans with cup white rice can of pineapple. An hour later my sugar hits 80 to 90 and I get lighted headed and very sleepy. Why is my sugar dropping so rapidly on workout days? Im taking lot of sugar pre and during my workouts? I got appointment but its 2 weeks out. Why is my sugar dropping when I have been taking extra sugar on workout days

From what you describe, it most likely looks like reactive hypoglycemia, but honestly nothing can be confirmed without data. We don’t know your blood results, so this can’t be properly assessed.

This requires a deep and thorough analysis. You should go to a specialist who really knows this topic. Do all the tests they ask for related to blood glucose regulation. Full blood work will also be necessary.
This is not just a “blood sugar issue”. It’s a problem of the whole system, and there may be serious underlying health issues involved. I’m not trying to scare you, just to be clear and honest: this is a serious matter and it needs to be handled by a competent specialist who can actually help you.

This is not something that should be solved on a forum.

Why all the suger ? You get it lowered and your eating canned pineapple abd drinking Gatorade? What’s the point. Sounds like your diabetec. At 5/11 310 lbs abd your blood sugar was 290 im
Going to say 110% your diabetic. None of those drugs will cure that either. But they will create a host of other issues. I’d lay off all the sugar dude. That should be obvious

feeling light headed with a blood sugar of 80-90 isnt normal either in my opinion.
I go hours with my bloodsugar below 50 and i feel a lil hypo symptoms but nothing to dramatic.
80-90 shouldnt be an issue

This just sounds like relative hypoglycemia to me. His body is used to sugar being much higher, now when it dips to 80 he gets hypo symptoms.

It's also interesting to note that frequent exposure to low glucose levels, like 50, blunts the response over time. In that case, someone's sugar could be dropping but they might not present symptoms until they're dangerously low.

Tend to agree just like if your use to running high blood pressure and you get on meds and it is now normal you will probably feel off until your body adjust, if your so use to running high. just like your blood sugar now your normal if feels off to u. but still get all the necessary test done. get a glucose tolerance test done u will drink glucose they will test your blood sugar over the next few hours.
