Why Is The Blood Sugar Dropping After Taking Medication?

I ve noticed that my blood sugar level drops after taking my daily medications. It doesn t happen everyday but, I ve felt like it has happened twice today. I had a coworker check my blood sugar level for me and it was at 72. This was after eating some potatoe wedges. I ve had blood test done, I am not diabetic. I am asthmatic and my asthma has been bothering me lately. Is there something that I may be able to do to level out my body so that this doesn t happen again. I did make sure that I had breakfast before taking my meds this morning.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The blood sugar level of your body may be around 72 only, it might happen to some people. The reason for such feeling may be the gastric irritation of the tablets you are using for asthma.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to prevent such feelings.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
