Anyone else letting their blood sugar crater during extended fasts?

Well... I hit a new low today. On the third day of my fast I hit BG=45 (2.5) and confirmed it a few minutes later as BG=46. This was around 12:30 pm. I felt fine. No problems what so ever. An hour later it was up to 55 (3.0). Three hours later it was 65 (3.6). By then I was feeling...

Thank you Sid. Yes I have an appointment with Endo next week. I was just hoping to get the perspective of other living with diabetes. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm not sure if I'm getting neuropathy or if it's an old back injury. If I lie on my back too long, my right thigh starts going numb. If I stand too long in one place, my feet start to tingle. Because these symptoms are situational rather than constant, I am inclined to think that it is from...
