Message: <blockquote data-quote="lottie_113" data-source="post: 381784" data-attributes="member: 70237">I am not diabetic (that I know of). I'm female in my twenties, I was checked once for diabetes as my ethnicity and strong family history puts me at an increased risk but the test was normal. I'm a trainee healthcare professional, and once after feeling unwell when working within a hospital (on a long shift, nothing to eat) my blood glucose was checked by a colleague and was 2.9mmols. I had something sugary and was fine. I usually feel ok but sometimes I wake up feeling very dizzy, light headed, weak etc so I check my blood sugar and it's always under 4mmols. Today, I had the day off so woke up, ate a breakfast of mixed fruit (grapes, melon, mango) and didn't feel right, so checked my blood glucose about an hour later, and it was 3.9mmols. I then had coffee with sugar, and a low fat yoghurt and it went to 4.2mmols. Two hours after that it had dropped to 3.5mmols. I have checked my sugars throughout the day just to experiment and even after sugary drinks, or sweets, my sugars never really go much over 5mmols. I'm usually between 3 to 3.9, or lower if I don't eat for long periods of time. Is this normal/okay? Thanks in advance for any replies</blockquote>
