What do you mean by low? How low?

Did you check with your doctor about your meds? In the meantime, eat more frequently and don't restrict your diet quite as much as you have been.

You may not be eating enough carbs to hold your BS at a normal rate...and of course if it continues to be low definitely call the docs office...this could be a serious problem...you could be getting to much insulin or too much oral meds...please keep us updated and CALL THE DOC.

How are your sugars now? Without knowing what meds you're on or how your diet is we can only guess at what the problem is. I hope you've seen your doctor and that your levels are better. Let us know. We do care!

Thanks friends.Yesterday was the first day I felt better. This morning at wake up and no food, my BS was 7.2. I haven't had my insulin or metformin yet. this is a low number for me, but I have been lower. It has taken about 2 years to get my BS to drop from 28.?? to 18.?? for my normal level. I have not been able to change my eating habits, in fact I eat even less now then I did to start with. I am now paranoid of food. I have been eating once a day, which is a very good improvement for me. I must admit the food is not always the healthiest.
thanks again friends.

If you are eating once a day and not the healthiest choices, how can your BS be low. What meds or insulin are you on ?

I take Metformin 2x a day 1 in the am and 2 in the pm and my insulin is called Lantus and I take it 2x a day 52u in the am and 54u in the pm. If i'm low i don't take my insulin until I reach normal again.
the thing is my eating habit has not changed in 18 months.
I seem to be getting back to normal BS again. but being low for so long was just too weird and scary.
Thanks every one.

IF YOU DONT EAT MUCH FOOD PERHAPS YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH JUST METFORMIN AND STOP THE INSULIN BUT DONT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT CHECKING WITH YOUR DOCTOR.
