The answer to that question is "IT DEPENDS"
Whether or not you have Diabetes your blood sugar fluctuates. For us members of the Dead Pancreas Society we are more cognizant of changes and constantly on the lookout for mostly HIGHS but sometimes LOWS
If you are NOT taking Diabetes Meds (like myself) it is beyond unlikely that your body will allow things to get "deadly low" (if our blood sugar drops below 2.0 mmols or 35'ish points we can go into a coma due to lack of (fuel) sugar available to… read more
@A DiabetesTeam Member "artificial" was the best term I could think of when I was typing that up 😁
Drug or Medication "induced" low would be a more accurate description

We are leaving very early Saturday morning with my parents to go to Indiana to visit my brother, sister-in-law and nieces for Easter. I know we will be eating out and maybe at the hotel or at fast food places. We're planning to stay a week as my mom has a break from work as she works at an elementary school and it just happened to coincide with my nieces' spring break.

You can also get serious lows if taking Gliclazide and miss a meal or two ...
I'm DT1. I'm in hyperglycemia a lot when it's very hot and humid... Do you also experience this? How do you deal with it?
You should stay in Air Conditioning and drink plenty of water 🥰
The best result keeps bs between 4/72 and 7.8/134.this is non diabetic.keeping as close to this range.Standard TIR I'd 4/72-10/180.,but as Graham says even the higher number can do damage

Thanks for the advice ..I appreciate it 😊
It only happens once in a while and not every time I experience a hypo. It starts off with weird thoughts, almost depressing type thoughts. I then starts acting weird as if I am completely drunk. It’s quite embarrassing to say the least. Other times I experience “normal” hypo’s without this weird acting. Anyone experience the same?
Hypo = hypoglycemia = low blood sugar
Hi all, I’m 68, had hysterectomy 20 years ago. Suddenly, I’ve been getting hot flashes, 3 this week alone, about 2 to 2 1/2 hrs after eating - twice it was after lunch; once after breakfast.
I will talk to my doctor, but wonder if anyone has experienced this? From consulting Dr. Google, it seems there are many possible causes. I’m also concerned that it may be blood-sugar related. I am on many meds - for depression, asthma, cholesterol, high blood pressure, and have taken thyroid for several… read more
Oh wow Pandapat -- sorry to hear that. I'm learning so much about the role of hormones -- it's amazing how intricate and complicated our bodies are. Take good care. Always nice to hear from you.
