Why?????

[babyg888]

I am a type two diabetic 41 yr old female. I was on insulin for 12 years and have lost weight and been off insulin for over a year now. I eat 75g of carbs per meal and my sugars are always under 120 two hours after eating. Lately my sugars have been under 90 two hours after eating which I know is ok but I'm getting low symptoms (headache, dizziness, and heart palpable) anytime it goes below 90... I'm having to eat every 2-3 hours just to help calm the symptoms.  Why would this be happening?

Thanks everyone!! Doc said today we need to do a 2 hour test and see when I'm peaking and if I'm falling to fast!

75gr/meal   WOW  that would send my BG through the roof.

have you tested at 30 minutes or 1 hour after eating?

could be your going very high just after eating and then dropping fast. that too will give the same feelings as a hypo

Please get your thyroid checked.  Such symptoms could be hyperthryoid.

Make sure your snack is low carb so that you don't get a high followed by a rebound low from the snack.

OK  you got me

Even though it's not that far off from my normal? My sugars have been under 110 two hours after eating for over a year now so I don't understand why the low feelings now?!?

That is a false hypo... your body is not used to normal BG so it feels low.

It will adj to the new "norm"
