Ever had a weird reported lowness like this?

My meter said 35. I checked a different meter, and it said 31. Rechecked first meter, and it said 34.

I feel fine. Dexcom is saying I am low.

Another meter check, and it again said 35.

?

Really feel fine still.

Nope; I’d probably be nearly unconscious at that BG. Personally, feelings aside, I’d trust the (multiple) meters, but I live alone and can’t afford to make an error of undertreating a low.

I still don’t know what was going on. I ate a few crackers, just to be on the safe side. Nothing very sweet. And about 30 minutes later, my BG was 134. So I still don’t know if I was actually low.

Definitely weird! :flushed_face:

I would trust multiple meters. Are you still hypo alert?

The lowest Liam ever got was 28 and i was scared senseless…he was very drowsy and I was about to give Baqsimi when he started coming to again (he had already had fast carbs earlier). He’s been in the 30s a few times over the years…equally as scary.

I generally know before my Dexcom does!

When I see the Endo he seems amazed I’m still hypo aware. Then again I think he’s amazed I’m still alive…lol

You’re so lucky you’re hypo aware…. my awareness has been gone for a long time!! Went to the clubs 25ish years ago with my boyfriend (now my husband), came out of a club, and my meter said 29.

I didn’t feel it - hubs said I was falling asleep trying to cross the street to our car. I got orange juice, and everything worked out. But I saw that meter read 29, and that’s the lowest I’ve ever been conscious enough to remember!

It’s so weird – I totally understand feeling fiiiine in the 40s, but whacked out shaky low in the low 70s. I don’t know what’s going on these days.
