Is this normal to feel dizzy when my blood sugar goes down to a more normal level? Lately, each morning I wake up, my blood sugar is around 7.2. Then I eat and it goes to 10-11.2.
I have been playing with my diet and have figured out so far that I can still have some regular carbs as long as I don't eat a huge meal.
So today, I ate a meal around 5pm. After 2 hours, my sugar was 10.2.
Then a couple hours more (9pm), I started feeling really dizzy. When I stood up, I thought I was going to fall. Maybe it's not dizzy.... but more lightheaded?
I checked my blood pressure and it was normal.
And I checked my blood sugar and it was 5.2.
I'm not on any medication, and have no other health problems (that I know of).
Was I feeling dizzy/lightheaded because it went down a lot? Or because it fluctuates? I know 5.2 isn't exactly "low", so I don't understand that lightheadedness or dizziness. This happened to me another day also. My sugar went down to 4.9 by itself and I felt dizzy.
