A member asked:

Can my blood sugar drop during surgery or do the fluids they give by iv stop that ? i had tremor last surgery not sure why. ? another surgery soon.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't think: It was hypoglycemia that gave you tremors after your last operation/anesthesia. Blood sugar levels are monitored during surgery and IV fluids usually contain dextrose. Ask your surgeon or even better your anesthesiologist to see if there is anything that they can do to prevent recurrence of your symptoms.
