Okay 74 isn't too low. Normal is 80-120 by most standards. 140 is prediabetic if it's that high 2 hours after eating.

I have had sugars in the 50's range, my father-inlaw has had them in the 40's and after a car accident he was found to have a sugar reading of 27.

The reading you get on your meter also has a tolerance that can vary by 9 to 12 points on either side... So it's not a precise measurement as that requires laboratory testing to get much closer tolerance reading of your blood sugars.

BEFORE I WAS DIAGNOSED DIABETIC I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DIABETIC. AT THAT TIME ONE OF MY OFFICE COLLEGUE USED TO SHIVER OR IN HIGH SWETTING AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER FIRST AID AND IF MEASURED HIS B/S LEVEL (RANDOM) WOULD BE 125 OR SO THE REASON ONLY NOW I KNOW IS HIPOGLYCEMIA NEED NOT BE SAME FOR ALL .THE DIABETIC NEWS NOW SAY HIS CONDITION IS PECULIAR AND HE SHOULD MAINTAIN HIS LOW B/S LEVEL AT 125 ITSELF THEY CALL IT SUGAR STARVING

I would like to suggest u to stop taking alopathic medicines imdtly. Better consult any experienced Ayurveda Baidya and take ayurvedic medicines only which have NIL side effects ( you may find use and side effect of all medicines on Google) other wise your this uncontrolled diabetes will destroy your eating as well as living pleasure of your life. I m 61+ and taking only ayurvedic medicines of Patanjali of Ramdeo and my FBS and PP are ranging between 80 -150. But this happened only after my retirement when I visited Yog Gram of Ramdeo ji near Roorkey-Haridwar for 14 days time. Before that my FBS and PP was ranging between 150-270. After control now I m finding myself highly energetic but this happened very late.

It is extremely surprising that that you get symptoms of hypoglycemia between 74-149. Can you please tell us symptoms you get and from where you got those readings. It's lab figure or at home with a glucometer.

[graj-123]

My low Bs is 74 that time u get a weak feeling& hungry and tend to sweat.if it is allowed to then it will hypo.but after food it stays there 145 after 2 hrs ,with diet mentioned earlier.

[patliputra in reply to graj-123]

If it is possible please get your glucometer caliberated with lab. results.

Just on 5 July 2015, my random sugar when checked at clinic was 558 with hb1ac at 12.8. I was put back on insulin & doses of my medicines were increased significantly .

I was prescribed NOVOMIX 30 ; 20 & 16 units before BF && BD . I was also advised Zoryl m3 Forte BF BD & Istavel after lunch.

I am actually in a dilemma as my sugar dropped so rapidly in just 2/3 weeks. Just 15 days back my fasting sugar became 38 & I panicked. It stayed very low at an average of 65 for last 10 days & to normalise I am taking 5/6 Parle G biscuits or 2/3 slices of bread with tea in the morning and I have checked after about 30 minutes after that for last 10 days , it inches up to 100/120 & no more. Before dinner sugar remains an average of 145 for last 20 days ranging from high of 197 to a low of 85 .

I guess, 85 at fasting is not that bad, but low. You may need to increase your carbohydrate load & maybe take a bit of rice & potato at dinner should not be a bad option. Best is that you do a regular/ daily basis self sugar test till position normalises and stabilises. Some strips are as low as Rs.10 per test & I use them regularly. Te results comes in 20 seconds but that 15 seconds also also saves you Rs 30 per test & my doctor has no issue with machine.

I am taking only 2/ 3 chapati for last 45 days for lunch & dinner & have cracked wheat or oats or museli for breakfast made as salted lapsi using a very liberal dose of green vegetables , beans, peas & carrot . I am a non vegetarian so I take chicken 150 gram everyday and 2 eggs only once a week.

I am expecting my doctor to reduce the medicine load; hopefully. He has already discontinued insulin mix for the night & morning dose has been reduced to 16 units for last one week. I stay in Mumbai ( most unreliable fleecers are in Mumbai & even Ayurved doctors are allowed to prescribe medicines as Local government has allowed them to do so) but travel to Gurgaon Medanta Medicity for my check up as I also have other heart related and atherosclerosis issues and have undergone , due to sugar complications, bypass & gangrene interventions.

Your best guide still is the doctor. We just share our experience without suggesting any changes or modification in medicines. A good Doctor is only competent to do that.

But do not take sugar complications lightly. This forum can often confuse you.

Oh I must add that I never faced any symptom of hypo, but panicked looking at reading of 38/40/45 etc.. And doctor gradually reduced my doses of NOVOMIX Insulin. It started with morning at 16 & 12 for night & was increased to 24 for morning & 16 for the night & then gradually reduced to 16 for morning ( 16/20/24 & then to 20/16 for the morning and for night from 12/16 and then from 16/12/6/0 now).

It is important to keep in touch with your doc on a weekly basis/ SOS. I feel lucky that I have a good man helping me despite the fact that I am 1000 Km away from him (Mumbai/ Delhi).

Hi Thanks. I did read about what you narrated. indeed the statistics of 3/1000 is right as per a Bitish portal.

I am about 55 years & have suffered from it from 1997 when I was first diagnosed .

I think as you say & I read, my symptoms are classical & all possible causes manifests in me as if they were tailor made and described after studying me!!!

I think stress is the biggest precursor to all these problem and it hardly recedes these days , especially if one lives in an environment of stress that envelopes everyone these days for a multitude of reasons.

I am not an exception but just a representative sample of millions of people suffering from psychological stress and leading to a chain reactions of health disorders that hardly gets tamed.

But I am to be blamed for it and no one else.

Thanks once more for showing me something extra that I was blind-sided all these days.

I was comprehensively checked, an annual ritual for me & ketone or related kidney or liver damages were not manifested. Albeit I am also on Rosuvas + Fenofibrite for a long time.

Take broccoli and Virgin coconut oil and occasionally small size fish.reduce carbohydrate and increase vegitable fat.stop wheat and make your life gluten free. Walk for half an hour at Sun rise time. Sleep well. Eat without opening your mouth. Do not drink water half an hour before and after food and also during food taking You are diabetic free.

I use the Novopen that I got from Germany.

It was supplied free with a stock of Mixtard. Excellent & accurate.

In India they do not give / sell , at least it is not available readily as Novo Nordisk pushes there disposable pen that retails for Rs 610 for a 3 mm pen fill. The cartridge is about 20% cheaper & I use that.

If you can explain me what is CGM & Insulin Pen if it is different from mine?

Much obliged for the guidance & your time to read my problem and offer a plausible alternative.

Thanks a lot. Rajeev

[rajeevpandey100]

Thanks. I would revert to my doc when I am due to visit him end September at Medant Gurgaon.

I read that Google is researching on it but is purportedly a touch or a band type wearable that sense from the sweat.

Let us see. Technology is changing so rapidly with newer and better methods and devices coming out with Apps everyday.
