I have type 2 diabetes. Has anyone else had symptoms of hypoglycemia and your blood sugar levels weren’t low?
I’ve had symptoms of hypo at 130 before, but I’ve gone down as low as 105 after excercise and not had any syptoms.
Yes, I have had that a lot in the past. Your body can get used to the blood sugar being higher and when it gets a little lower, your body is thinking there is something wrong. Especially if you are insulin resistant, you can get this feeling. Remember that the numbers they tell you to work for as far as blood sugar readings, are not hammered in steel. Everyones body is different. You and your doctor have to decide what is good for you. We were taught this in a recent diabetes educational class that had an endocrinologist as a guest speaker.

my husband got so use to his blood sugar being too high that when it actually started to get in the normal range, he would feel like he was having a hypo attack. When he gets in the low 100′s it happens.

Your body got used to blood glucose levels being high. I had a family tell me once that their Grandmother/ mother had symptoms when her BG was less than 300. That is an extreme case though.
Normal BG runs 80- 120 (130). Those are good number to shoot for. But treat your symptoms if you are feeling low have a snack.
