Are You Really Low? ( Diabetes )
You feel like you have low blood glucose but when you do the test, the meter says you’re fine. What’s going on? There are several possibilities. First, your glucose meter may be broken, dirty, or the battery may be low. Repair it, clean it, and change the battery. Call the manufacturer if you need help with this. Have your health care team check the accuracy of your meter.
Also, remember that it takes several weeks for you to get used to having normal blood glucoses if you’ve had high levels for a long period of time. When you’re in this transition period, your body may send you false signals. You may also feel like you have low blood glucose if your levels rapidly drop. This usually happens after a large dose of regular insulin. For all these reasons, don’t guess what your blood glucose is — always measure it.
