Blood sugar measuring

[Valina]

After a Christmas break, started yesterday with a recovering induction time.
i never read anything about measuring blood sugar, in which case is it necessary to measure it?
in the past months, i frequently had hypoglycemia symptoms, specially when i work long or "forget to eat".. i get really agitated, my hands are shaky, i sweat cold..
even though i do not have diabetes, i was thinking to monitor my sugar levels for a while, does anyone of you do this regularly?

thanks!

Re: Blood sugar measuring

Valina,

It sounds like you might by hypoglycemic. The symptoms you describe are similar to a diabetic having a low blood sugar attack. I've been on insulin for 18 years, so I have experienced that all too often.

You should go to a doctor as soon as possible. Monitoring your blood sugar will probably be important, but not before you are checked out by your doctor.

Good luck!

Re: Blood sugar measuring

I agree with Rick...I am a type 2 diabetic and when I was first diagnosed checked my blood sugar 3 times a day -- as the number started getting lower (thanks to Atkins and medication) I took them twice a day and now I take them once or twice a week - unless I feel I need to check them more often.

Have your doctor check you out.
