I am trying to figure out something and need to know how *low* of BG is bad. I got the highs memorised. Thanks, tim Jennifer's Advice: http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/NewlyDiagnosed.htm >I am trying to figure out something and need to know how *low* of BG is > bad. > > I got the highs memorised. > > Thanks, tim Thank you :-) > Jennifer's Advice: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > > > Thanks, tim You are welcome. The low point might be depending on if you were reactive hypoglycemic before diabetes. And it might also depend on if you were in glucose toxicity at the time. More info would be helpful. > Thank you :-) > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> > >> > Thanks, tim I was hungry and put off eating for 3 hours, ate a can of chilli beans (no meat), was ONLY 110 at 1 hour, then read 54 at 2 hours. I think I will eat something lower carb like green beans when I first get hungry. The same chilli beans used to spike me to about 140 1st hour. Never have had any lows below 80 that I know of before, but I have to admit that I have not tested in months before today, after keeping up regularily testing since 1998. > You are welcome.

Maybe that isnt true anymore. I will figure it out. I will just TEST alot more, just like a newbie, until it is solved. > I was hungry and put off eating for 3 hours, ate a can of chilli beans > (no meat), was ONLY 110 at 1 hour, then read 54 at 2 hours.

Some people say that once they get below 80 they feel hypo, others below 70 etc. I don't feel one until I am under 60. A lot depends on how high a bg you are accustomed to. >I was hungry and put off eating for 3 hours, ate a can of chilli beans >(no meat), was ONLY 110 at 1 hour, then read 54 at 2 hours.

You need to listen to your body and what it's telling you.

Under 70 is a low for me. Loretta -- In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. |
