--- Question regarding low blood sugar
Umm... according to the sources I have, 70-120 is in the NORMAL range, below 70 is considered low. That being said, if you're just now GETTING to the 90-100 range from a sustained higher readings, then there's a "pseudo" low that your body feels until it adjusts to the new lower levels. There was another thread called "pseuo-hypoglycemia" where I asked just about the same question and got what I just told you in reply... Mike - diagnosed July 8th, 03 metformin 500mg x2, altace 5mg and lovacor 20mg 84-120 readings.

I went through something similar right after I was diagnosed, and during a perios in my teens years when I rebelled and my BG levels were WAY too high for a while. When I got them back under control, I experienced pseudo-lows at 125 mg/dl for about three days, and then rather quickly got back into the range where things were almost perfectly normal. You may never fall into the typecast ranges they say are 'normal', and that is probably ok, I think. One thing I have learned after ten years of putting insulin into myself is that none of us are that stereotypical picture of perfection we would like to be. Those charts are a general range, but we're all different. Good luck. ~A!

Hi Jerry, I, too, have these symptoms, but have found that when I changed from my AT LAST meter to a FREESTYLE version all of my numbers increased by 20%. After having by Dr Office check out my numbers, I have now adjusted by goals by 20% and am doing great. (Yes, my Ab1c are in the low 6's so my Dr not worried) I suggest you take you meter in to you next appt. and do some comparisons. You know what's scary when I go too low? My mind acknowledges the problem, but my body won't respond and I get too fussy minded to remember to eat something.
