A member asked:

How low does blood sugar have to be in order to vomit? i've tested as low as 32 on my meter at one point but didn't feel the need to vomit then.

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

The meter was wrong: That level is a false reading or glucometer error. 32 is inconsistent with normal life.
