Answer» You will need to MONITOR your blood sugar throughout the day. Remember, that the liquid that you drink is all the nourishment you are GETTING. Make sure that the drinks you are drinking contain sugar in addition to your diet drinks. KEEP your instant glucose handy, drink a GLASS of liquid that contains sugar, or dissolve a piece of hard candy slowly in your mouth. DO NOT CHEW. Remember nothing red or purple. Check you blood sugar in 45 minutes to an hour and repeat the sugar drink, candy or instant glucose if needed. If it does not come up or continues to drop, contact your physician or go to the EMERGENCY Room. You will need to monitor your blood sugar throughout the day.
