(Can you organize your original post a bit into seperate paragraphs, @blizzard2014 ? Its hard to read and weasel out relevant information.) Maybe this makes it more readable. You have important clues in here that are hard to find. Your the best!
"I’m sorry for posting this same topic multiple times.
I had another low at work tonight, right around the same time all the severe lows would happen if I had used insulin a few hours before. I started becoming weak and dropping things. I drove from one customer to another one in the same complex, because they have sugar packets next to the coffee maker. I ate four packets of granulated sugar and then felt better again after 20 minutes.
I worked for another hour and then started to feel low again.
I drove home not feeling well, and once home I checked BG again and it was 90. I was starting to get really weak again. I ate nothing all day. Just my usual three cups of coffee and 1 diet iced tea.
I’m getting real tired of this. All of these lows leave a hangover effect for quite a long time. I don’t know what else to do to prevent these. Is this the same thing as brittle diabetes? I am scared now that every time I go to work or drive I’m going to go low and have an accident.
This never happened every single work day for weeks on end. It only happened occasionally. I had everything under control. Some insulin in the morning to correct fasting numbers and 1 meal a day with BG under control within 2 hours. No food in between.
My last A1C was 5.3. Maybe this current set up isn’t going to work for me any longer?"
