A week or so ago, I was away from home. I traveled after a meal and hydrated during the journey. On arrival at the destination having parked my car and unloaded my luggage and registered I felt a bit weary, faint and needed to sit down. I thought that it might be connected to my type 2 diabetes, but as I had not had a reaction like this before, I decided to test my blood. It came out as 2.8, which shocked me a bit. I immediately ate a couple of fruit pastilles and rested for a while and than tested again about an hour later. My BS was now up at 4.9. Which was still below my average reading of about 5.5.
I spoke to my DB Nurse about this, and she seemed a bit unsure of why I would have had such a low reading - and advised me to just ensure that I have some sort of sugar supplement with me at all times.
My question is really what are the implications of such a low level (albeit a one off)? I have had other low readings over the past few months between 4.2 up to 4.7 or 4.8, but never as low as that.
Any ideas?
