Low Blood Sugar "attacks" but no CFRD dx

Low Blood Sugar

I have the same issues. I have steriod induced diabetes, but I have actually been able to lower my A1C in the last 4 months. I do not however have diabetes and if I take my metformin when not needed my blood sugars have gotten down into the 50's - it was while I was weaning off steriods.

I notice that if I eat something like cereal for breakfast then I normally have blood sugar issues the whole day -BUT if I stick to something like oatmeal, my blood sugars stay closer to 120 the whole day.

You need to have a Glucose tolerance test to determine if You
are Hypo or Hyper.

I stay away from all white sugars and white breads.
I am a coffee drinker and I stopped sweetening my coffee
years ago.
