The thing about it lowering your glucose levels, LA.Jgirl, is that the hyperglycemia after you've eaten in response to the hypoglycemic period may also be exaggerated. Particularly if a munchie-attack has caused you to eat foods that are high on the glycemic index but even if you've eaten the perfect diabetic meal or snack. Those ranges tend to be much more labile in both directions for diabetics, especially when they're just getting the hyperglycemia under control with meds and dietary changes. I'm just saying you have to look at the bigger picture than the benefit of slightly lower sugar while you're just getting your hyperglycemia under control. You've got to look at the effect what you eat and smoke has on the peaks and valleys, too, and at the pattern over the course of time as you adjust your diet, exercise and meds. Just keep your glucometer handy as you're learning how your particular metabolism responds to both cannabis and foods.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . What do you think? Ok here is the deal. A few months ago I found out I was a diabetic. I was a little worried at first about how my medicine would interact with smoke. Well I did a little experiment and checked my sugar before I smoked and then 15 min after I smoked. My sugar level had dropped by a few points. A friend of mine (who is a medical student) thinks that Cannabis use lowers blood sugar levels. He believes that is why you get the munchies and sometimes feel tired after smoking. What do you think? Rating: 5
