A member asked:
Hi docs, do you think it's bad that my blood sugar is 53?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Hi. Are you a diabetic on drugs that lower blood sugar? If you're not diabetic and not on drugs that lower blood sugar, 53 is normal and fine, and will never cause you a problem. If you're a diabetic on insulin, the insulin you take be shot is not regulated in response to your blood sugar, and can make your blood sugar go dangerously low. So, no diabetes or diabetes drugs? No problem.
