| | | I was told 7 once, in a doctor's office, a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away). I was really sick at the time. I don't know if I was sick because my blood sugar was so low or if my blood sugar was low because I was so sick. It may have been an error though because this was in the late 60's or early 70's.

| | | Our local hospital told us that if you get a reading under 30, and you still feel capable of reading the meter, then you didn't get a big enough blood sample, and the reading is wrong.
I use an Ascensia Breeze (by Bayer) which gives me an E8 message if there isn't enough blood.
Oh, and your answer . . . mine is never terribly low. Only ever goes high. Lowest of all time was 70. Highest of all time was 297. I'm beginning to think, from reading things here, that I may be really lucky.

| | Why do DR's think it is impossible to be alert if your BS is lower than 30?

But seriously . . . I have never been down under 70. Is it possible to be alert below 30 and at the same time for it to be a true reading?

My DR seems to think that if you have a sugar that low your either dead or your meter is wrong. I told him of the 22 I had before in which I requested a Glucagon kit. He laughed and said you must need a new meter. I complained to him later that week of me suffering with a 24 sugar and a 29. At that time he changed my basals. I hate it when they think they are always right but yet don't even have the disease.

| | Thomas' lowest was 30/29 and he was alert. He said "I think I feel low". He checked and it was 30 I told him he did something wrong to test again. I could not believe he was that low and no symptoms except feeling "a little low". He checked again and yep- 29.  He was using a OneTouch at the time and you know that if you don't have enough blood you have a wasted strip!
