Low sugar

Well i think they say 5-9 is normal witch i think means 50-90
But when my friend came round a month ago she was shaking & sweating bad so she took her blood and her sugar was 5.0 (50) so she said its just starting to drop which was why she started to feel ruff but then she took mine & was totally shocked that it was 2.0 (20) now she said that i needed to eat some choc bars & i was at the time sweating & feeling shaky but im used to feeling like it & just though i had a fast motabalisim!.
So i didnt really think much off it till i told my next door neighbour who said i would be dead if it was that low so offered to check it again & it read 4.5 (40.5) which he said was low & illigal to drive with sugar that low. but he couldnt understand why it was so low as he had watched me drink a can of coke 20 mins earlier and he exspected my sugar to if anything be a little high!. So it was because of him i went to the doctors & found out all my syptoms in the last 3 years had been caused by low sugar. It mainly hits me at evening /night time.
The one thing that did worry me was the blue hand & feet....... At night or sometimes durring the day they go gray then blue then they look dead! totally numb on one off my toes i have a little black patch thats never regained colour. I went to my doctors so many time as i was worried i had a circulation problem & that my toes would fall off but they just looked at me like i was nuts & told me the circulation was good & that i just had cold feet & to put socks on. I even went back again as i got rushed to hospital with bad astmas & they told me then to go to my GP as my feet were not a normal colour so i went back & they refered me for possible ranards disease but the tests come back clear & again i was told to put socks on!.
It was a shock when i was told that 2 blood tests taken over the past year & a half showed low blood sugar yet no one picked it up! It was 4.0 (40) but its a good thing in a way as at least i no what the blue feet, heart palps & sweating , shaking & tiredness, bad dreams & hallusantions are all about!
Its just a little annoying at the mo as im eating all the time like every 1-2 hours to stop myself feeling ill & im sure thats not healthy either! I have to weight at least 2-5 weeks to get in to see a diabetic specialist so untill then ill just keep eatin!:-/

I'm sure she can be A big HELP..

Anytime your legs, feet, hands, etc.. turn blue/purple.. It could be infection,
BUT in your case has to be circulation problem BAD ....
Yes your suger should be at 9 = 90 .... Best number..

How is your heart..?
You need to have test for Blood Flow.. Blockage.. I have had to have 2 by-pass surg.
Plus many more..

Even at the age of 26, many things can happen..
YOU NEED TO GET WITH A GOOD DR.. !!!!!!!



Good Luck my Friend, Larry

 

Even though I have had issues with this and pretty much know how to take care of myself, mistakes can happen. I got distracted and wasn't keeping track of how long I was without food. I also don't drink a lot of soda (for a reason) and I was drinking tons of it. When my sugar spiked and then fell real low I started sweating like a pig and shaking. My heart was racing to the point where I threw up. I was having dry heaves so hard I broke blood vessels in my eyelids and around my eyes. Lets just say I look quite interesting right now.
