Hi,
I am a 19 year old female. Im 179 cm and weigh about 170 lbs. Lately I have been getting a dry mouth/thirst and I was worried that this could be diabetes. I purchased a blood sugar monitor in order to test this. On the saturday morning my fasting blood sugar was 5.3. I ate two pieces of brown toast with butter and tested my blood sugar three hours later and it was 4.3. I've done some reading and apparently this is reactive hypoglycemia when your body produces too much insulin to counteract the carbs that you have eaten. I was wondering if my results are reflective of this. Today my morning fasting blood sugar was 4.5. I am going to see the GP tomorrow anyway but I was just wondering how these results look to you?
Thankyou
