Anyone ever had a espresso drop their blood sugar? I had an espresso about an hour ago and my bs was 93 and then I got the shakes and rapid heart rate (which is usually the low 60s for me). Didn't take my bs at the time cause I was on the phone. Got up to get snack and took it, only at 76. Thoughts...?

    I have not heard of that but sometimes people have certain times of day when they are low..mine is always late afternoon. Do you have lows when they are in approx same period of time? Yikes...glad you got the snack!!

    After the fact, I think it was a weird coincidence. Man though, I felt rough for a bit.

    Glad you are feeling better!! There sometimes seems to be no rhyme or reason to why sugar is high or is low..I think the most important thing is keep on keeping on and never give up!!!
