I got my first glucose tester this week: it said I was 3.3 this morning.
Most medical bods will say use glucose and retest. Especially using insulin or other meds which lower blood glucose.No, actually I'm very new to diabetes, so I'd appreciate your advice. I felt totally normal this morning, so I didn't treat it as a hypo, and I just went to work as usual. My readings seem to run a bit low in general, and I don't vary much: I'm 3.5 or thereabouts fasting, then 4.9 (or under) two hours after my main evening meal. I haven't been testing myself long, but I eat the same every day, so I think these numbers should be fairly steady.

During the day I treat with protein as it raises MY bgs. Everyone finds what works for them. If I use glucose I get very high bgs for a while. Through the night I use glucose as I need instant solution.
To keep on topic. My fbg was 7.2 this morning before breakfast.
Not necessarily a hypo - everyone's different and depends on meds etcA hypo. Did you take some glucose and retest 15 minutes later?
