Hi! I was on Megace for about 6mo before I had a hysterectomy. I was taking 40mg 4 times per day. I have type 2 diabetes and have been experiencing some very low blood sugar levels. Very scary! Is this typical?
Very Low blood sugars?

I am sorry. I also should add that my Dr. told me to stop taking megace and I am wondering if this is why my sugar is dropping?
