Diabetes Type 1 Support Group

Lowest reading I have ever had was 0.9 here, which if i calculated it right is about 16 there. At 0.9 I did have seizures but didn't see the grim reaper at that time. All caused by my specialist putting me on a drug to stop palpatations, which had a known side effect of masking hypos. Needless to say I see another specialist for my diabetes now.

The lowest I have had was 31 I believe, I could not imagine having a 12! I dnt know how I wouuld make it through that. I feel low when I hit 70.

my son nathans lowest was 0.9 he wasent in a good way - he didnt have seizures but he was very very upset and crying uncontrolably (me too) i just had to hold him till his sugars came back up after haveing 4 tubes of clucogel

sorry thats meant to say glucogel

I once had a my meter say LO! so I don't know how low that was. It must have been really low so that the meter couldn't read it?? I don't know. I've also had it so hi that the meter only said Hi! It didn't start showing a number until my bs came down into the high 600's. That was actually really scarey because I was seeing things in my vision even when I closed my eyes. I don't know how to desribe it...

Shannie, with my eyes closed I sometimes see stars all over the place. It's sort of like being outside on a dark night when one can see the whole Milky Way. It's actually kind of neat and I don't mind it at all. I just sit inside when it happens, close my eyes and watch the "star" show!

1.5 but they had difficulty believing it to be true since I was lucid and talking

I have had one or two between 1.5 and 1.8, I was perfectly normal, I knew I was low but nothing else happened, It was scary though!I think the problem is that they are wanting our HBA1c so low now that we are trying to keep our b/g too low and having hypos, its so unrealistic and dangerous.

On two occasions (since 1980) I recall numbers about 19, but the scary part was that no matter what I took to raise it the levels stayed at that number. On both occasions after drinking a half gallon of highly sweet juice with no effect I thought I was going to pass out. I used all of my remaining strength not to as I thought I wouldn't come out of it if I lost consciousness. After close to an hour on both occasions I finally felt it rising, and of course it went up thru the sky as well. I guess going from 16 to 600 is all in a lousy day's work for some of us (on a real bad day). When something like that happens it's best to just move on and try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

My lowest was 47 i can't imagne being lower than that. I would be dead!
