buttercup30's Journal, 12 October 2021

My weight appears to be heading down again. I'm glad. I had an incident with my blood sugar level Sunday morning. My blood sugar was 225 on the monitor, so I took my metformin and didn't eat any carbs. By the time 11:30 rolled around, I was weak. I had low blood sugar. I was given half teaspoon sugar under my tongue and half a cup of punch. I checked my blood sugar when I got home, and it was 178. Mom said it was definitely low blood sugar. On that note, can someone recommend a good glucose monitor that won't break the bank? I think mine registers too high.

It may be the medication... my mother took metformin for years and had issues with extreme highs and lows while she actually stuck to the diabetic diet they gave her. Turned out her dosage was too high. Not saying thats the case for you, but it may be something to concider asking your Dr about.
