[QUOTE="Newbie123, post: 2469695, member: 551516"] Hi there, firstly I apologise if this has been covered in one of your many threads, I have looked but nothing stands out and my GP seemingly knows very little about blood glucose and what is normal. I'm 38, no history of diabetes, I workout 3/4 times a week and I eat healthily most of the time. However, I do vape cannabis and that can cause munchies in the evenings. I have long thought my blood glucose levels dip to low levels. On these days I'm very weak, very pale, VERY shaky. It can come on at any time and sometimes I have to lay down to let it pass. I recently purchased a FreeStyle Libre 2 to find out what is going on. I have just finished a full week and the first 5 days was very uninteresting. My blood glucose levels ranged between 4-6 mmol. I drank fruit juice, ate chocolate, ate sweets... all the things we shouldn't do and my levels barely changed. On Friday afternoons I eat at 11am a bowl of 100g of oats, berries and a large scoop of peanut butter as I have an extended workout at 1pm. I'm in the gym for 2 hours of intensive exercise then into the sauna/spa for a couple of hours which also gets your heart rate up. Friday night I went to bed and from midnight - 7am my blood glucose dropped to 3-4 mmol range so marginally low. Saturday I rested most of the day and my levels were fine, just once or twice they dipped below 4mmol. Sunday I went for a 3-hour bike ride of medium intensity. I didn't eat beforehand, however, immediately after the ride, I ate 100g of oats, berries peanut butter from my rucksack. An hour later my blood Glucose dropped to 3mmol. For the rest of the day no matter what I ate, (Brown Rice and Chilli for Lunch. Sunday Roast for dinner and fruit juice, sweets, chocolate) my blood glucose got lower and lower, so low the Libre sensor couldn't give a reading for 2-3 hours. Of course i felt awful. Is this cause for concern? why does my blood glucose go so low? Any help would be greatly appreciated [/QUOTE]
