Low Blood Glucose Readings
If your blood glucose is below 20 mg/dL, you will receive a "Lo." Repeat
the test with a new test strip. If this message shows again, contact your
healthcare professional immediately!
Contact your physician for advice if test results are very low
(below 70
3
mg/dL) or you have symptoms of low blood glucose. Symptoms of low
blood glucose include sweating, shakiness, trembling, blurred vision, hunger,
headache, confusion, rapid heartbeat, or tingling or numbness around the
mouth or fingertips. Symptoms will vary person to person. You may have one
or more of these symptoms, or none at all.
Recent Diabetes Findings
In 1993, the National Institutes of Health reported a study of people with
Type 1 diabetes. This study was called the Diabetes Control and
Complications Trial (DCCT). It found that good blood glucose control can
reduce the risk of complications by about 60% . This helps protect the eyes,
4
kidneys, and nervous system from damage due to diabetes.
