[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2269587, member: 372207"] Going low is a result of using insulin. It's a very fine line we have to walk to keep our blood glucose at healthy low levels with insulin but not too low. For instance: Yesterday I managed to end up at a perfect 5.2 a couple of hours after lunch. I injected for the beer I was going to drink. Looked like it would be an easy managed diabetes day. Right after injecting I found out the goats had trampled the fence around the chicken/rabbit pen and the rabbits were now loose in the garden. I had to get them back in their pen before they were caught by the dogs or would hide where I wouldn't be able to find them. A perfect recipe for a low blood sugar. I avoided it by eating half an apple while quickly catching goats, rabbits and chickens, and do a temporary repair job on the fence before drinking my beer. I. My bg was 3.9 at that point, so very close to a hypo. All because of some unplanned activity. Being newly diagnosed your blood glucose is likely still running a bit higher than nomal because you're still working out the right doses for you. If you're bg is, say, 12, there's a lot more room before you drop below 4 than when you start out with my 5.2. And I'm also on Tresiba and Fiasp. I like those insulins a lot better than other insulins I have used :) [/QUOTE]
