We need more detail. What do you normally eat. How does that affect your 2 hour numbers.

What are you eating. How does that affect your 2 hour numbers.

Tell me about your normal activity level. How has that changed.

What is your medication timing and dosage.

Is your hydration level changed.

@A DiabetesTeam Member are you still taking the Micronase?

It's a pretty powerful drug that is "known" to cause lows/dangerous lows in upwards of 30% of users so even in long time users lows can start popping up

(my Dad took that drug for almost 28 years - very familiar with it)

If so the first I thing I would do personally, if you can't get advice from your doctor right away, is just cut back on the dose - even if it's a matter of getting a pill cutter and taking "half" the regular dose and see if that helps

(it won't hurt anything cutting back for a few days to see if that's the cause and hopefully by then you could get advice from your doctor - but you do need to protect against the lows and a lower dose of that med should naturally raise your numbers a bit)

Thank you not that I can think of that. There has been any change as I am in Mexico now and not as easy to see my doctor when needed we Viva Phone and FaceTime, but this is just a weird change for me and unexpected. also, I am on a glucose monitor that is in my arm, so I feel pretty safe most of the time but don’t like the way I have been feeling lately
