 Hypoglycemia in Non Insulin Dependent
Hi everyone,
Hypoglycemia - it's not dangerous when not taking insulin, right? Meaning, one wouldn't end up in a diabetic coma, and the body will correct itself somehow? I've googled it & couldn't come up with much, except a couple of comments to back that up.
My situation is that I was dx'd prediabetic. Was on metformin for about a year. Switched to an herbal formula. After a couple months started experiencing the liver dump phenomena. Stopped the herbal, and my levels have been rather low ALL THE TIME. One morning my fasting was as low as 68. I seem to have adjusted to the hypo like symptoms. But then, I can't stick to a diet AND exercise without ending up going to bed with my levels in the 70s.
And eating a snack hasn't had much of an impact on my bg before bed. Even eating sugars (which I know I have to eliminate) doesn't have much impact during day or nite. It just seems my body doesn't react much to anything. It stays pretty much leveled out.
So is this a good thing? I don't have to worry about severe night time hypoglycemia if I'm not taking anything medicinally/herbally to lower my levels??
I thought that lower levels would mean better weight maintenance, but my weight is creeping back up again.
Thanks!
