Please can someone clarify whether a Blood Sugar level of 3.7 dangerously Low?
( this is what I do as I am type 1)Hi there, 3.7 is classed as a hypo, but not dangerously low, so you need to eat a biscuit or sweets, or a drink like Lucozade or coke, or something else similar, to bring your BG back up.
Thanks am relieved. Yes I am only on Metformin 1250 mg. per day and was not feeling uncomfortable but since it was a reading post 2 hours after a meal I felt I should check with others on the forum. Also hadn't seen any reading as low as this since diagnosed.Hi @SZB2357 if your profile information is correct and you’re taking only metformin, then my answer to your question would be ‘almost certainly not’. However, if you are taking blood glucose lowering medication or insulin then you could be in hypo territory.
What prompted you to mark the query as urgent? Were you feeling ill or uncomfortable at 3.7? If so, I’d suggest eating something and then testing again.
