I have type 2 diabetes. I have had it for 7 months ...

Sent to Health Experts September 16 10:15 AM

I have type 2 diabetes. I have had it for 7 months now. I am curious why my reading are so erratic. This morning my blood sugar level read 37! than I had some juice and it brought it up to 84. I am wondering if I should see my doctor about this. What exactly is happening to me?   Could you explain what these different readings mean.    Thank You Audrey

Hello,

What medicine, if any, are you taking to lower the blood sugar and what are the doses?

Do you follow a diabetes meal plan?

Were you having any symptoms when your blood sugar was 37mg/dl?

Did you eat less the night before this reading or exercise more than usual?
