  • low blood sugar

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could tell me what you would consider a reading that is too low. I have had issues in the past, but yesterday, I had a stomach bug and couldn't hold anything on my stomach. About 7 pm I was very shaky after eating a bowl of soup and checked and my blood sugar was 72. So I went ahead and had a bannanna and some crackers, because I just felt weak and shaky.
    BTW My husband is diabetic so we have a meter. I have always tested normal or occasionally low (if I don't eat often enough and when pregnant I had some that were lower than the 72).
    Anyway is 72 too low? Or was the weakness just from being sick all day? Thanks in advance. I did do a search on google and could find high numbers but nothing much on low numbers.

    I believe that 80-120 is normal. Below 80, you might want to have some orange juice. If you feel dizzy, you should see a Dr and of course, if you pass out, get to the ER!

    Take care!
