Question for Diabetics please

sandy2006

I am 5'5 and 179lbs used to be 230lbs. I exercise 5 days a week for an hour. I eat lower carb foods like lean meat, whole grains fruits and veggies. OK well I have been experiencing what I think is low blood sugars. Especially at night for some reason. Today at 2:30 I ate 2 eggs and 3 slices of turkey bacon. Well around 4:45 I got really cold with a slight head ache I felt really hungry and weak and I checked my bs and it was 80. I think that seems low to me. I have a bs meter because my dad gave it to me he is type2. I cant figure out if I may have diabetes or be hypoglycemic. Isnt there a way to check your bs then check again in 2 hours or something after you eat? What am I lookking for?

first off if you think you maybe be diabetic or hypo, this isnt a question you should be pondering..you should be at the doctors office and get some bloodwork...80 is not hypo and is normal for non-diabetic..if you were diabetic and not on insulin you would know..your bloodsugars would go so high you would drink so much water and pee alot. i dont think you are diabetic or hypo..hypos you would shake, if you get low enough you would know osmething is wrong

Yes I will seek medical advice. Everyone is different, My mom is hypoglycemic and she will pass out if her is in the 90's ( a side effect from gastric bypass) I did feel something was wrong which is why I checked mt bs to start with.
