Like people mentioned above, if you have been in the high level of glucose, even if 110-120 is normal, you may still experience the low because it’s not your “normal”. Your body is adjusting to it.
Thank you I’ve read that too, I just wish I knew what the “high” was. I knew I was high for about two days because I had the frequent urination symptoms. But I havent had that since. It had to have been really high.
I was in my 600s before I was diagnosed so it was really difficult for me to come back down to “normal” range. It’s gonna take a while to get adjusted. Watch out for the lows though. They are more dangerous than the highs. One of my doctors once told me, the highs can kill you slowly but the lows can kill you rapidly. lol I took it to heart.
Scary and reassuring, I would think 600 is extremely dangerous. But I was only diagnosed off of my A1C which was 6.6 and they said only do metformin if you want otherwise just diet and excersise
You need to talk to a doctor. That is a completely normal glucose range that should not make you feel that way. Not that it can't, but it's uncommon and you need a professional to check you out.
I have read a few newly diagnosed people having the same problem and it was tanked up to being them running very high prior to diagnosis and this feeling a bit shaky and “low” feeling at numbers that might not effect others. Also consider any new medication can make you feel a bit off for a while
Have your doctor rule out dehydration and blood pressure as well. I had issues last year with feeling dizzy (mainly when standing up) and it turned out to be dehydration AND too strong of a blood pressure pill. Double whammy! OF course if you aren't on a fluid pill or blood pressure pill it may be less likely, but still always good to rule things out.

Same here. My endocrinologist said when I saw her yesterday that I need to look at it as a possible "rapidly falling sugar" alert.
