My blood sugar dropped to all of a sudden. I felt really odd. I’ve got it back to [emoji6] now.
I’ve been feeling a bit off with a tummy upset, could that be the reason do you think.?

I hope you feel better @Smarty_pants Because you've used the App rather than the Web browser it's a bit difficult to tell what your numbers were? If you weren't eating as normal, and are on certain medications, then your blood sugar could have been lower than normal.

I'm not sure what the figures you're giving are. When you say "all of a sudden" was this one reading in the middle of a number of readings? Meters can be out by plus or minus 15%, 95% of the time, and still be acceptably accurate. One reading in 20 can be completely off the wall. I've occasionally got a low result of eg 2 point something, when it's absolutely obvious I'm not at 2 point something. Repeat test, different result.

Have you had a hypo in the past? Are you on any glucose-lowering medication?
