Hospital meters are more exact but make sure there are no contaminants on fingers or supplies before testing. Also try a new meter, doctor have meters for free or you can try to call the company and ask for one for free.

Always carry a I.d. Bracelet and a glucagon kit and instruct friends and family on how to use it in emergency.

Know the symptoms of low blood sugar. Talk to your doctor about a emergency situation.

Possible cause is that you bolused to early before eating and you were rapidly dropping without any food to stabilize your sugars.

Also ask your doctor to adjust your basil and bolus rates for activities and carb intakes.
If you feel low always try to get a drink with sugar. Liquids will enter your blood stream faster then solids. Also carry Glucose tablets.

While sugar level of 80 might be normal for some people, it might not be right for you due to intense reactions. Ask yor doctor to set your average higher.

Hope this helps!!!

Hi sorry to hear about the episode you had, it's a very scary thing. I have been a diabetic for 28 years and recently my blood sugar dropped to 39. Thank God my husband was here & called the ambulance.. It is a horrible feeling and it's never happened to me until now.. I like you tested before bed BG: 84 within a few min it dropped to 39. I had like 4 glasses of juice & nothing.. Now I'm constantly testing & a nervous wreck. Just make sure you eat snacks in between meals. That's important and test frequently..

Good luck on your journey..
