Hi.
Since the beginning of 2019, I've been trying to get my blood sugars under control.
I've been following a low carb diet and have been exercising regularly ( I'm a personal trainer). I've been monitoring my sugar levels rigorously before and 2 hrs after eating as well as when first waking up. The results have been startling. In the last couple of weeks I've noticed some very low readings. I feel fine, not shaking, not cranky ( like I use to get on low readings). I don't lack energy when I train. I'm getting readings of around 5.5 2 hrs after eating my midday meal. I have my final meal at around 6 pm and my readings before this meal have recently been about 3-3.5! which really surprised me as I didn't feel bad at all.
My question is this.
Should I be worried about such low readings when I feel perfectly fine?
I should also mention that I do intermittent fasting from 7 pm to 11:40-12pm the next day. 1 hour ago 2 hrs after my midday meal my sugars were only 4.4! At the start of the year my doctor wanted to put me on medication ..but I wanted to continue as diet/ exercise controlled.
Are these low readings bad for me?
