For the past two weeks, I have been treating low blood sugars with glucose tablets on average five per week. By the end of the first week, I began having abdominal cramps and nausea which has been continuous. I feel this way most of the time regardless of what my blood sugars are.

Shortly after eating an unusually large amount of carbs (soda, candy, etc.), my 14 year old son did a random glucose test using his grandmother’s meter which was high; the next morning his fasting blood sugar was low, and every subsequent test has been normal. Urine test was normal. Is it worrisome for a kid to spike like that?
