My blood sugar has been low all day. I haven't been feeling well more off colour. This is still all new to me as only recently diagnosed type 2 any advice would be great
 
Hello and welcome to the forum Joan.

How low are you talking? Have you been eating normally? What was your diagnostic HbA1c level?
 
Hi when I tested my blood today, I joined the T2T, I was at 4.5 before lunch and 6.2 after I'm normally 6.2 before and 7.5 after. The only difference today has been I have felt really tired and thirsty
 
Hi again.

4.5 isn't too low, in fact it is good, as is the 6.2 after lunch. I have just taken mine and it is 4.7 (about to eat evening meal).
Tiredness and thirst is normally associated with high readings I believe. If you have been reducing your carb intake this could be the reason your levels have dropped a bit. try again this evening, test before and at 2 hours after and see what happens, then come back and tell us. Try not to stress about it as this will almost certainly increase your levels.

I hope you feel better.
 
Thank you for your support. I've already eaten and haven't tested I will keep an eye on how I feel and test before I go to bed
 
Hi I had a viral infection which really threw my sugars out. Things seem to have settle thank you for the support
