Is It Safe To Take Metformin For Fluctuating Blood Sugar Level?
I have Type 2 Diabetes. Today my blood sugar level dropped to 58. Scared me a little--it has been pretty low lately, sometimes 80 and 70 but today was the lowest. I take Metformin and diabetes shots as well. After I read 58, I ate a piece of pizza and waited a half hour. I took the reading again and it was 120. I decided I shouldn't take my regular shot as this was a good reading. Right or Wrong? Thanks for your help.

Hi welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query Regarding fluctuating blood sugar level dropping down to 58 . Though it is a matter of concern but , I think , your over indulgance in medication , without cunsulting your physician , is responsible for this
For your info , gulping on only medicines will not help cure unless you modify your life style and food habits
Always remember, never stop or start any medicine ,without consulting your doctor , please see your doctor / professional
Hope this helps solves your query .Take care .All the best .Get well soon
Don't hesitate to come back in case of any further query .
