A member asked:
Some days i find my blood sugar to be 65 on the fingertip monitors. most days it's in a more "normal" range. is the fact that it dips down to 65 ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you diabetic?: Hi. 65 is a perfectly normal sugar for a non-diabetic or for a type 2 diabetic on medicines that CANNOT CAUSE hypoglycemia. If you are a diabetic on insulin (or less commonly, a type 2 on a sulfonylurea), then you need to be aware that your BG could keep going lower and get you in trouble. So are you diabetic, and if so, what drugs are you on?
