hi bepop, i also have diabetes and am very familiar with the lows, or bottoming out is what i call it. i have been Diabetic for about 15 years now and it runs all through my family. At one point i was taking a medicine called glipizide and was almost daily suffering with sugar levels going clear down into the 40's. i started asking other diabetics and eventually talked with my pcp. Most everyone i know who is diabetic had the same problems while they were taking glipizide, one aquantenance was even rushed to the hospital with a sugar level of 17. i quit taking the glipizide and only take metformin now and i rarely have problems with my sugar going too low. it still happens from time to time, but i dont have much trouble bringing it back up with a little orange juice and peanut butter crackers. i try to carry some everywhere i go. i would get ahold of your pcp and make sure there is nothing else going on. i hope this has helped and that you get to feeling better soon.
