It could be a 'false hypo' where 7.8 seems low to your body because it's been used to higher sugars.

Or it could be something unrelated like an illness or dehydration.

Whatever it is, if you're feeling dizzy do take care.

Dropping BS can definately cause light headedness blurry vision and fatigue. Lower slowly.
