Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Hi Johanna, 22 is very, very low. Did you do a double check? Check your strips to see that they have not expired. If you are on medication and are getting lows, your meds may need to be adjusted. In the meantime, be sure to check before exercising. And, if this continues, make an appt with your doctor. Do keep us posted on what you find out. Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 I just had quite a disturbing experience at the gym. I was riding a stationary bike (just like i always do), and suddendly I felt very low. I went to test and I was 22! I have never in my ten years with this disease been that low and been conscious. The thing that scares me is that I did not even feel the signs... sweaty, shaky, tingling tounge, etc... Does anyone know why this may have happened? And what I could possibly do to prevent it, besides having a snack before I work out? I guess I could test before I work out, but I seem to drop so fast sometimes, that it hits me so unexpectedly. Any advice would be awesome! Also, does anyone know if steam rooms are bad for diabetics? I was not sure if they lessen your senses and are unable to feel warning signs for low/high blood. Thanks...
