Impossible outcome

Heard an expert say that the hba1c consists of the equivalent of 300,000 blood glucose readings or a mean average therein so no.

Why did you have to have a juice ?

Presumably because the poster was having a hypo?

Sorry for the silly question but what dose that feel like

Hi David, it's not a silly question at all. It can feel different to different people but to me it's a sudden trembly feeling all over the body, sort of like a fluttering. If I am really low the inside of my mouth goes tingly and then numb. That can be accompanied with a feeling of extreme hunger. Hope this helps. If it happens we have to take something very sugary/sweet in order to bring the glucose levels up fast, some people use pure juice but I tend to use tailor made glucose tabs. x
