So can someone explain why my blood sugars drop extremely low I eat today it was low I ate at mexicali bc I wanted to treat myself I haven’t had a high blood sugar in 1 month well highest I’ve been in the month was 213 that was it…. I called the doc. And they said I would only be able to see her in Oct. Like what the actual heck??? My blood sugar keeps on dropping extremely low to the point that its concerning and scary not normal levels on blood sugar they just keep getting lower and lower , I feel faint constantly or like I’m spasing if that makes any since I sweat alot and I get sick also I’m forgetting a lot , I was counting money and I had to have one of my coworkers count it for me bc I literally forgot what I was doing and I’m having conversations with other people and like in the middle of my conversation I forget what I was trying to tell them like I haven’t ever felt this way and it feels like something in my body is off and I’m scared I even explained this to my nurse but doc cant see me what kind if excuse is that this is an emergency I’m newly diagnosed and I don’t know where to start.
My successful Diabetes Treatment Story
My doctor diagnosed me with diabetes just over a year ago, at the time I was prescribed Metformin. I went to the some diabetes related websites and learned about the diet they suggested. I started the diet right away and I was very loyal to it. However, after weeks of being on the diet it never helped, my blood sugar didn’t drop like I wanted it to. My personal physician wasn’t much help either, he didn’t really seem to give me any other options besides my prescription and the usual course of insulin. I was about to give up and then I discovered a great treatment method. The guide was authored by one of the leading professionals in the world of diabetes research, Dr. Max Sidorov. This is a guide that that shows you, in a very simple way, how to conquer the disease without traditional methods. I have to say that since I’ve found the guide and followed it, I’ve not only improved my health but I’ve also lost weight and improved other aspects as well. My activities have increased and I have a ton of energy! It is my goal to share the this diabetes treatment method as much as possible to show people there’s more to the disease than traditional schools of thought and you can find your own path to healing with natural methods.Related Posts

I experience these symptoms when I’m low as well. And I only get low when I take more insulin than my meal covers. Are you on meds?
You may need to adjust your insulin. If you call your MD and give them your glucose readings, insulin and food they can tell you how to adjust things.
Lower your day time insulin by a couple of units each day til you are not feeling like crap.
If your morning reading is low, do the same with lantus.
I’m only saying this as this is what I have done in the past for me.
I’m not a medical professional, but we sometimes have to play around with it, to get the right dosage for us.
If you’re on a pump adjust your basal rates when you’re dropping. Also you can up
Your carb ratio like if you’re 1:10 make it 1:13-15
If it is happening all through the day then start with adjusting your long acting by decreasing 1-2 units every other day until you aren’t frequently dropping low… if it is within 1-2 hrs of dosing for a meal make sure that your carb counts are accurate and mess around with how much meal time insulin to give …. you will leave they even if something is the same amount of carbs somethings just take more or less insulin depending on how your body handles it.
What are your blood sugar levels when you check them and are feeling these symptoms?
Have you met with a Diabetes nurse or educator? What are your numbers when this happens? Always carry glucose tablets or liquid glucose on you. I am a board certified diabetes nurse, and am concerned about what you are reporting. Tell your doctor’s office the actual Low blood sugar numbers,and that you need a call back today. Hypoglycemia is important NOT to ignore.
Causes are usually too much insulin or diabetes medication, not enough food, extra activity, or any combination of these. This is Your body and your brain —if you think it’s too much insulin, you reduce, but always keep checking your blood sugar and stay in touch w your doctor. New onset type 2 or 1 diabetes?
