Question:

From Dearborn, Michigan, USA:

The lower third of my small intestine was removed due to irritable bowel disease, and I've been having some seizures while I sleep. Could this be related to blood sugar levels? Is there a way I can check the levels myself with an over-the-counter kit? Is there one you recommend? I've eliminated 'all' sugar from my diet except what naturally occurs in fruit.

Answer:

From what you have indicated to me, it is very important that you contact a diabetes education team near you. They can demonstrate the meters that check your blood sugar and tell you when to monitor. These are basic skills that you need to learn.
