What was YOUR lowest low?:)

38 mg/dL

after eating a pasta dinner and walking a bit. was just about to take a General Chemistry exam… i did well on the exam after chugging a Sprite. interesting night.

  1. I’ve always had low blood sugars, most of my life… till I turned diabetic. :confused: Now it can go both ways.

Christine - Because you live in Canada your BGs are read in mmol/L where in the US BGs are read in mg/dl.

Just checkd my log - 36 and with no awareness . . .

My machine said lower then Lo,I am thinking that I was so low that the machine could not tell me a number.lol
And I was still having a laugh and a conversation until my sister reminded me to go and eat something.lol

It’s wonderful to hear that I’m not alone! Lowest I can remember getting on my meter was around 27 and actually argued with my husband that I was fine! I can carry on OK well into the 30’s. When I’ve been unconscious (about 8 times over 36 year span) and I don’t know what it was because I can’t test until I’ve started to come out. Haven’t had a bad one in some time but what’s considered a bad one? I can function at 30! Does it make a difference how fast the drop is? That seems to make my reactions different depending on how quickly I drop.

I have been in an alert coma twice, but it was because my BG levels were so HIGH, not low, I have never had issues with getting low. It was really weird that the doctors told me I was in a coma but I felt fine, really. It was even mroe confusing being I was only about 10-12 when I was in said coma’s.

when I was little 27, as of lately 42 with no signs

I was 27 or 1.5 two days ago. Not very good!

JOHNBEN.

33 :frowning:

32 was the lowest low I have had.

Had a low last evening - took over a half hour to forty-five minutes to get up and after 15 glucose tabs, I barely hit 70 from 50.

the most recent one was 28. I was at uni, didn’t feel anything at all. I was just really cold & everyone else wasn’t so i thought I’d check. Anyways some juice always works wonders :slight_smile:

My friend freaked out when i told her how low i was later that day. She worries more than i do. Love her to death! :smiley:

mostly I drop into the low 1’s, however on my one touch ultra meter I had a “LO” reading but felt completely fine, like going for a jog or somethiing. The joys of being hypo-unaware!!

I was about 1.6 (29) when I fell into a coma on my living room floor, but I have been 1.2 (21) and still being able to walk down my stairs :confused:

I had a 32 yesterday. I was walking around my house, just felt a little tired. I checked and was surprised to see the 32.

My lowest low (that I’ve caught) was 44 with no symptoms. I was perched on the arm of a chair, helping a friend with a paper for a class he was taking and had eaten a slice of pizza. Since I tend to spike quite high after pizza, I thought eating less while taking a bit more insulin would keep me from the spike. Didn’t work and it wasn’t until I tested to verify what was going on that I knew I was having a low. Totally shocked!

My lowest low was 12 and I was consious and convulsing.I’ve been in the low 30’s and other diabetics had no idea I was low. I’ve been sailing, handled the lines for a tack and been fully aware at 28.

How do you deal with it other than constant testing?

19, at work. The fire department was kind enough to deliver me to the hospital next door.

No awareness? That’s pretty low. I have no awareness. I’m miserable at 53.
