A member asked:

I'm just wondering, if you are diabetic, how can you tell when your blood sugar levels are low?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

By checking: With your glucose monitor. Do not trust symptoms, as they are unreliable. Always check your blood sugar if you have any questions or concerns!
