Its a beautiful day today actually got to spend time on my porch !

I am beyond ready for Fall

Im having a very hard time regulating my blood sugar today. Anytime my fasting blood sugar is below 100 I am to skip a dose of my GlipiZide. It was 123. The portion size for Raisin Bran is 3/4 of a cup and I use Almond milk which is 30 calories for a whole cup but I only use just over 1/4 cup on cereal.

Anyway about an hour later my blood sugar bottomed out. For me I suddenly get dizzy, nauseous and drenched in sweat in just a few minutes. My Glucose level was 43 So I grabbed a spoon of peanut butter and took a few glucose tabs which typically always works. No relief actually got worse I dropped to 31 ! Any lower than that and I will pass out. I keep one regular soda in the fridge for this situation. It's hard to choke down when hella nauseous but with in 5 mins I finally was getting my number back up.

Thought maybe Shingles vaccine could have been the problem but I checked on that and couldn't find anything and I even called my pharmacist and she said there is no connection..

Depending on my number after dinner I might skip my evening dose.

It's always something
