At the diabetic classes they said that you can feel "low sugar" at those levels if you sugars have been high.

Yes. I definitely agree with everyone here. When I was first diagnosed I didn't take very good care of myself. (I basically had to figure it out on my own at 13). Anyways, my body was used to being high most of the time and when I finally got around to controlling my sugars better I would feel low at 6 and 5 all the time. It took awhile keeping my sugars at a good level but my body finally went back to normal and stopped feeling that way. It is scary though. I hate the way low sugars make me feel.

Everyone has a different requirement and perhaps you are keeping your bg a little too low for you as an individuals.  There are NO set numbers that are right for everyone.

 

Are you on too low of a carb meal plan?  Ask your dietition or Diabetic Nurse Educater.

I will feel LOW if I do a big drop in glucose

say.. I am 372 and do a correction. in 1 hour I am say 286 I WILL feel low.

One can feel low because of

  1. a large drop in blood glucose numbers at once (example above)

  2. If one's body is used to being elevated and then is automatically brought down to within normal parameters.

  3. One can also feel low IF they can feel themselves dropping quickly (like above), but some will not drop as quickly (as above, but I am one).
