<< I understand that the problem with diabetes is the high bg. However, when

with tablets (against insuline cell resistance) since january 99. This has

really brought anything into balance and I had not felt so good for some

years - actually as a new person.

Now, the reason I am posting this question is that I am starting to

experience low bg. Sometimes I wake up in the night and it is as if anything

is turning around and I'm slipping away or loosing conciense. And sometimes

I feel dizzy. I wondered why, after having experienced such an increase in

my wellbeing, I suddenly starts to feel so again. Therefore I have measured

my bg at these times and each time my bg is very close to the mmol/l 3 lower

border. - I may not be in the dangerzone, but I don't feel well ... >>

, you need to keep adjusting your medications! The whole reason we test

our blood glucose is to adjust our diet/medications to maintain an even

keel. If you drop low, cut back a little on your insulin/pills. Just keep

testing and adjusting. And it is REALLY important to keep a journal at

first, until you get to know your reactions. Write down your test results,

and what it was you ate and how much of which insulins/pills you used that

produced those results.

And quit eating that junk food, you naughty monkey!!! hahahahahaha

Elaine,

I suspect Jillian to be hypoglycemic(low blood sugar), but my ped tells me I

am wrong. It's just another one of those things I sense as her mommy.

can prolly explain this a lot better than I can but

here goes.

Growth Hormone deficiency can cause low blood sugar,

also if the blood sugar gets too low the kiddos can go

into hypoglycemic seizures.

Ahh come on help me out here <G>.
