well, it sure did it to me. i was very scared to have a low of 36 and i don’t
know what precipitated it. just that i waited a full hour to eat after the shot
and i did have a couple of mouthfulls of food before the shot, but not much at
all. as i have said before, i do not think they know all the side-effects and
the way it reacts with all kinds of people……………….baz

Are you on any other diabetic meds besides the spit? Maybe adjusting or
eliminating them will help.

My doctor has slowly been adjusting my meds so that I don’t have lows, I take
glucophage in between doses of byetta, not with, and my sugars are staying in
the 90’s almost all of the time!

I think of the 70’s as low and get very shaky if I get to 77. My
doctor told me to eat immediately when my blood sugar drops to 77.
That is my experience.

the two other lows I’ve had
since Saturday went unnoticed until I took my 2 hour post-meal
test.

If you didnt feel low at 70 then your body seems to deal with that ok,
but 68 is just the limit of starting to go too low for you it would seem
to me. Strange how just a couple of points can make a big difference in
how we feel.

Hi Ruby,

Just a question….you state that you get a "lip tingle and fingers go numb"
when you get around 60. Have you had your calcium levels checked?

What you describe is what my Thyroid surgeon said to watch for as it is a
symptom of low blood clacium.

If you are having low symptoms at like 90 then it is best to work thru
it, but if you are going down to 70 and lower than you probably want to
start doing something before you get too low. Not treating a true low is
very dangerous.

On the other hand, if you are used to very high numbers even 200 can
give low symptoms, which of course, you do need to work thru so that
you get used to them and can get to normal numbers.

I dont feel my lows anymore unless they get around 60 then I get the lip
tingle and my fingers start to go numb, not a good thing when you are a
cook*G* But then I have been dealing with diabetes for over 15 years now
and I think over time you lose the ability to feel lows.

My question was gonna be "how do you treat your lows?" My doctor said no
glucose tablets! He did not want me treating them, that is where I need
to be and I need to get use to it. Kinda hard to do when you feel like
CRAP and cannot function properly.

Wow! I can’t believe your doc has that kind of attitude when it
comes to your own health. I think I’d be looking for a new one if
mine told me something like that. Does he realize that if a low
goes untreated that you could end up in a diabetic coma?

You said < getting below 70 I wouldn’t worry about it. >>

And all I am saying is, its different for me, and several others who
have written. He needs to figure out for himself what he should do!
