low blood sugar

For example, I have used a CGM which should expire after 14 days of measurement. The question is, is the performance uniform and constant during this 14-day period? I am towards the end of this period, and I am seeing lower and lower values but not alarmingly low. I have not made a detailed...

I have a friend who has recently had a stroke from high cholesterol at the age of 30 and is suffering from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes acquired through morbid obesity. We’re trying to help her follow a strict Mediterranean diet, but she frequently demands unhealthy carbs and toppings...

Last week inadvertently hit a dangerous low of 2.6 and just hit a low of 2.9. Eaten large fresh banana and had about a dozen pretzel sticks so already back up to 3.2 in half an hour but should I bite the bullet and have a glcose tablet as well - don't want to end up going too high as I have...

Hi all, On a recent visit to the doctors I have once again been told that I am pre-diabetic. I am eager to reverse this as I am on no medications (diet changes only). The reason I went to the doctors was for a full blood test as I was feeling lightheaded and sometimes dizzy. I recently...

I’ve been experiencing hypoglycemia for many years now. It used to be much worse, but I am now wearing a glucose monitor and surprised to find how low my glucose levels are and how hard it is to keep them up/level. as a test I’ve eaten some cake and the level only goes up to 125 max (6.9). I...

I’m awaiting further testing for. Diabetes and in the meantime I am still monitoring my blood sugars with my agamatrix blood machine which I had during my pregnancy. Today I’ve had two readings below 3.8 and this is once before my evening meal and two hours after my evening meal. I’m awaiting...

Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well and finding their answers. I’ve been struggling the past few years, and my situation is not as straight forward and a bit complicated. I’m hoping that by joining the forum, I’ll be able to get myself pointed in the right direction, find some answers and...

Hi there, firstly I apologise if this has been covered in one of your many threads, I have looked but nothing stands out and my GP seemingly knows very little about blood glucose and what is normal. I'm 38, no history of diabetes, I workout 3/4 times a week and I eat healthily most of the time...

My husband has recently been diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. The doctor has said the carbs that he is eating are making his sugar levels drop very quickly which is giving him very low blood sugars particularly after morning breakfast and before lunch. But I'm having trouble with what to give...

Hello everyone, First post here so I try to be as good as I can. My wife has Diabetes Type 2, she is on Keto diet for several months and we monitor things pretty close on daily basis. She wears LibreFree2 as well as does a finger test now and then to ensure reads are correct. 95% of the time...

Hello - I am new to this group. I searched it out because something is strange with my Diabetes. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes 13 years ago, I am currently 53 years old. I treat it with 2000 mg Metformin and 36CC of Insulin daily. I tested positive for COVID on 07/19 (Since I have tested...

Hello , so I was wondering if anyone could guide me on what I need too do as something very much scared me last night. I took my semglee 24 hour insulin as I do every night at 10pm, I’ve reduced by 4 units due too my sugars dropping lower than I wanted before meals. This rectified the problem...

Hi all! Thank you to everyone who replied to my last question. I've been on the 800 cal diet for a little under a week now. I'm on x2 500mg Metformin and x1 80g Gliclazide a day. I haven't checked my blood sugar for a week (my own fault) but when I checked it today I saw that I'm only 5.2...

Hey all, hope everyone is keeping well. I keep having hypos, like ALL THE TIME. They started as night time hypos so I've been reducing my basal as this is something I was taught on DAFNE (I know some don't agree with this method but this is all I know). I have had little success with this and...

So I’ve been using the 14 day Freestyle Libre for a few months, and just today I’ve run into a serious issue. The current one I’ve been using has been on for eight days and working fine, but just this morning I woke up to it giving me the lowest reading possible. I didn’t feel any symptoms of...

I have type one diabetes, insulin-dependent for the last 19 years. I am on an insulin pen (had a pump whilst I was a teenager). Usually, my control is pretty good. I have started using the mysugr app which has helped even more. But sometimes it recommends too much or too little insulin which I...

i am non diabetic, and I keep getting these type of numbers but when I check a few minutes later there back to normal numbers? I’m really worried there’s something wrong with me as lowest I’ve dropped is to 3.5 :( 8:52pm tonight I was 3.8 Checked again at 8.58 and it was 4.3

Hiya, Suzan here, I have been a type 1 diabetic for about 8 years and havent always had the best track record with my blood sugars, but lately my body has been going completely nuts and I have no idea what to do about it! When I first became diabetic I gained 30 kilos in a year and was unable to...

Hi all :) I wonder if you could help/ advise me, please? I have been following a LCHF diet for months now and it has really helped me, brought my fbg levels right down and helped me lose a lot of lbs. Recently, past 2 weeks, after a birthday meal (which I couldn’t avoid, I ate pizza express...

Hello everyone, Nice to meet you all on this forum. Have read some very interesting posts before making an account here. I struggle with Reactive Hypoglycemia, i have been told to eat more protein, low carbohydrate and more fat to ease my symptoms. I must say it is working but it is very hard...
