what is your diet like? Do you have support from family and friends regarding this issue? Those numbers are very low they would be making me feel terrible. What do you eat while it’s happening? I have friends who eat jelly baby’s when their sugars are low, I can’t eat to many of them due to having ibs as well, I find rich tea biscuits are a good help tho.

A diabetic is having high sugars not low, that’s why we need insulin to lower sugars. My wife suffer from low sugars, she finds if she don’t drink enough water each day her sugars go low her eyes feel all gritty due to dehydration, when you eat it can take a while to get into the system, to keep sugars at a steady level you need to eat carbs like bread potatoes pastry etc sweets will raise your sugars up for a short time but they come back down very fast as you don’t have any food that the insulin your body makes has nothing to work on, how old are you if you don’t mind me asking? My wife is 57, her uncle used to suffer with low sugars as well, I find in the summer my sugars are lower than in the winter as glucose levels can change with heat. But eat carbs regularly should help calm things down, little and often I find is best, I have three rich tea biscuits at bed time and they keep my sugars stable until morning.
