Blood sugar
I am diabetic. Saw endocrine dr the other day. She suggested I try a no/very low carb diet which I've done for 3 days. Last night and this morning I have had episodes of low sugars----at least the symptoms. I know the feeling well!! But when I checked my sugar it was @ 130. I still took glucose tabs and as usual felt better. I am highly confused. In the past when I've gotten low sugars it's been in the 79-80 range

1) It can be relative hypoglycemia - when sugars that were badly controlled suddenly come down to normal. 2) glucometer may b giving erroneous reading.
