[QUOTE="soozemack64, post: 735461, member: 145324"] I am type 2 and over Christmas I have had higher blood sugars than normal due to falling off the wagon and also being on a course of steriods. For the past 10 days I have been low carbing to get my levels down again. They have been improving but still slightly higher than before Christmas. Today I had a snack of a couple of water biscuits and a couple of teaspoons of peanut butter before exercising. After about 30 minutes on the cross trainer and a few sit-ups and press ups I started to feel a bit weird. I came over shaky and lightheaded and my legs felt very weak. I also experienced a strange tingling on my left cheek and in my fingers (mainly left hand). I have never had a reading lower than 5.5 since I was diagnosed a year ago. I don't understand why my reading could be so low all of a sudden. I am not on any medication and my diabetes is diet controlled. Can any one advise me. Should I be worried? I am trying to keep low carb as they do spike my levels but should I eat a larger snack before exercising? [/QUOTE]
