Has anyone had low blood glucose levels?
My blood sugars in the last few weeks have been extremely low. Normal 90-110.
It doesn't matter if I've been fasting or I just ate, my highest level has been 59.
My fatigue has been off the charts and all I want is to lie down.

Yes mine has been dropping but it isn’t staying there now. Do you have a Lifestyle Sensor that lets you know when it goes that low? If not you should go to ER or Clinic to be checked, if it is staying there. I don’t want to scare you but you could go into a diabetic coma if it goes to low. Praying for you.

Numbers that low could land you in a coma. Please contact your doctor and get checked.

Definitely report this to your dr. Are you diabetic?

Mine tested at 44. When I worked at a hospital an RN said she had never seen anyone with glucose that low who could stand up. I started keeping candy in my desk and that helped the glucose level but gave me a muffin top.
