Hypoglycemia Unawareness

[techgirl12]

I'm starting to worry because both yesterday and today 58 & 56 and I didn't have any warning signs!

why does this happen? :(

There are days that I have gotten into the 40's and not known it. My guess for you would be that you have been running great numbers and your body is adjusting to the lower numbers. When you are running lower and your body adjusts it also ajusts the symptoms of lows to a lower number.

I hate to say this, but run your numbers up just a bit higher than you have been the past few weeks. If you have been in the 80-100 range, try moving your set points up to 100-120 range and you will also move up your low's and when you feel them.

thank you for the response...
i have had two more like that
luckily today i had another low but i realized it at 71.

now i should figure out why im having so many lows....

It's always something isn't it tech. Glad you felt the 71 today. I really get nervous when I am not recognizing lows.

You have jumped from a 9.1 A1c to a 6.7 in just a few months. If you had lots of lows during that three month period, it may have just made you a bit unaware. I think you are right in trying to find a more stable place with your blood sugar.

Let us know how it goes.

back in july, i was hospitalized for a level over 35 (630) and more than a few times i was at 2.9 (52.2) or lower and didn't feel a thing, i wasn't even sweating, i thought i was fine until the nurse checked me... i always felt them before and i feel them again now, but at the time in july, i didn't... just weird... of course my levels were so high then because i had a viral infection...
