Hi. I have Type 2 and low BG is something I never thought I would have. As I have mentioned in past posts, I use Freestyle Lybra from time to time to keep myself honest and to try and prevent myself from slipping back into bad habits.
During lockdown my diet has been poor but about 2 weeks ago I decided enough was enough and since then I've eaten very low carb. This week I've noticed the carb cravings have passed and my constant hunger has subsided again.
At the weekend I put a new sensor on my arm to monitor my progress. Right away I noticed my BG was lower than I can ever remember it being and immediately assumed I had an inaccurate sensor. This evening when I got home from work I felt sweaty, a little shaky and ever so slightly light headed.
I have occasionally had these symptoms over many years and have always put it down to dehydration as a good litre to two litres of water has always put me right again and today I haven't drank much so I was thinking the same.
Attached is a screen shot showing my BG as per the reading ive just taken from the Libra sensor. Now, because of how I am feeling I'm wondering if my BG could really be that low. Also attached is a screenshot of the last 24 hours.
I'd appreciate any feedback, advice or opinions.
Thanks
Alan
