Hi
I got a pre-diabetes diagnosis in December and after reading and researching I decided to alter my eating to low carb.
I test before and after meals and my fasting level.
I've managed to get my readings into the 4s and 5s, but several times a week I catch my BG in the 3s . This is usually before a meal, indicating I might have waited too long, but I've also had "hypo" symptoms such as racing heart, chills, anxiety and tiredness at times when my BG is in the 4s or 5s.
I don't understand why my BG can dip to 3.2 or 3.8 (also following retesting) with my current diagnosis of pre-diabetic. From what I understand this is rare in non diabetics and DT2.
Is this all down to just being a little late with meals and eating low carb?
Thanks
Nicola
