Hi! First point is, those levels aren't really low. They are normal for a non diabetic, so well done for getting readings there, you're doing things right obviously.
Trouble is, your body has got used to high blood sugar levels so it FEELS low when you get down to good levels. Stick with it, your body will re-adjust and you'll start feeling great.
