kamrie37 134 Posted July 12, 2012 I was dizzy at first, but I am not sure if it was related to my blood sugar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted July 12, 2012 Yes...but unless it regularly drops below 70-80 OR your lows are tied to stressful moments, you should be OK soon. The trick with blood glucose levels, emerging studies lean to, is not to "aim" for 80-120. Try for a 30-40 point spread instead. The average levels are just that, average - for instance my best levels were 75-105, which I was able to keep about 95% of the time...yes I used a percentage, based on five years of meticulous records of my readings related to "point spread". Lows and the feeling you are experiencing provided it is what you think it is, is also relative. If you ran really high you will feel that wy just by maintaining a lower level, and that still might not be low enough. It's a complex journey. I am not a doctor, nurse or such. I am a former diabetic, who maintained a 6 or better A1c for five years and went into remission about 10 weeks after surgery. In the meantime I was (am) an avid advocate for type 2 research and treatment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jeniluv1978 22 Posted July 12, 2012 So it took ten weeks to be diabetes free?!?! Were you insulin dependent? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am DETERMINED to send this disease into remission!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
