(I checked several times when 'low' reading, plus have cross-checked the monitor, so not faulty or imaging it!)

Hi, thanks all! Yes, I went to my GP, he did basic iron levels plus HbA1c* (*was fine), then gave me a monitor. I monitored blood glucose for a few days - was lowER (3.8/3.9), but not bad - so he said 'all fine'. My personal cheap monitor I brought didn't record my last TWO typos, both below...

Thank you. Not for weight loss. My hypo last was 1.1mmol/L. It's rare but happens.

Hi, newbie learning. How often do people experience hypos (below 3.5 mmol/L)? About to try the low carb/low sugar diet, but only getting hypo about once a month - so need inspiration to take the leap!

Thank you. Good to know! I tested each time twice, so would be 4x faulty strips. Have used same ones since and cross-checked = ok. Will just use better monitor from now on though! Thanks so much for replies - MUCH appreciated and helpful! x

I have checked monitor since (against one from GP) and not faulty that I can see. I had symptoms when it was low, yes, very sweaty/exhausted/weak/shakey.

My monitor said 'low' (on two occasions) which was below 1.1mmol/L. Very new to it all, so learning. As my HbA1c was normal, not had any further GP follow-up. BUT, I know it's been low before, as had same symptoms. Thus - having to find info myself!

Hi, many thanks!! I had a very low of less than 1.1 two weeks ago, so monitoring! xx

NON diabetic but get hypoglycemia. Is 3.8mmol/L or 3.9mmol/L considered a hypo? Conflicting answers.
