I've read about the connection between cannabis and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) before, but not in any sort of medical study or publication, just in anecdotal reports. I think that would be a good idea to test yourself a few more times. If it simply knocks your blood glucose down a few points, that's easy enough to make adjustments for through your diet both before and after you smoke, at least as long as the lows aren't dramamtic and don't leave you feeling shaky and out of sorts. I've read on more than one occasion that cannabis isn't a good mix with diabetes, but I know one thing for sure. It's a far better mix with diabetes than alcohol. Now that's a disastrous combination.
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
