Anybody see an unexpected drop in blood sugars
Hi. Dennis here
I hate to keep asking about my health all the time (I was dealing with some rising blood pressure issues lately). Now its kind of weird but I seem to be experiencing unusually low blood sugars. I'm a type 2 diabetic diagnosed Nov. 2014 and I've been doing low carb since that time. No medication. For a long time I did every other day 24 hour intermittant fasting. My A1C was 8.2 when starting. It went to a 4.9 in March then a 5.1 in May then a 5.2 in Sept. Recently I've suspended the fasting (because of the lower readings) but I still only eat twice a day, noon and evening. An examople of this trend -- today my BG was 70 2 & 1/2 hours after eating. For lunch I had eaten cheesburger pie with sour cream and salsa, a hard egg, and a lettuce salad with vinegar and oil dressing. After the meal I ate blueberries with HW cream, almonds and two squares of 86% chocolate. Seems kind of low. It should be at least in the 80s if nothing else becasue of the tomatoes in the salsa. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. Weird huh? Maybe my meter is going crazy. I wonder if the recent high blood pressure is pushing more insulin.
Although I imagine most folks on the diabetes forum are dealing with higher blood sugars has anybody else have a low dip like this when not really changing diet?
Thanks
Dennis
