What do you mean by very low readings? How low?

It can increase the lowering effects of insulin.

Did you feel hypo and would lowering bgs be a good thing if you are taking meds for the same purpose?
I do take a big dose in Winter months but never saw this effect so be curious to understand if it is a thing and if so why is it a thinig?
