Hello,
I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and yesterday started taking diabetes medication ("Xigduo", 5mg dapagliflozin + 850mg metformin), 1 pill with lunch.
This afternoon I fell asleep after lunch and when I woke up I was feeling a bit dizzy, blurred vision and my body felt very heavy to the point I had to sit down. I checked by blood sugar and it was 99 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L). I then ate a small slice of bread with a very thin layer of strawberry jam and 1/4 apple and the symptoms faded away.
If it helps these were my blood sugar levels today:
Fastening: 105 mg/dL (5.8 mmol/L)
~2h after breakfast: 153 mg/dL (8.5 mmol/L)
Before lunch: 111 mg/dL (6.2 mmol/L)
~2h after lunch: 123 mg/dL (6.8 mmol/L)
A few minutes ago when I felt dizzy: 99 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L)
I had greek yogurt with 1/2 banana for breakfast and grilled fish with vegetables and 1/4 apple for lunch.
Do you have any idea of what might have happened? Theoretically 99 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) is good, right?
Thanks.
