Is Very Low Sugar Level A Cause Of Concern?
Usually it's a challenge to keep my blood sugar at a good # but recently i was to the dentist and they have prescribed an antibiotic called Metronidazole 250mg 8 x a day in prep for dental surgery as i had 2 absesses. I have just taken my blood sugar and my metre reads 3.3 which i think is dangerously low.
What are your thoughts. I don't feel disoriented or anything.

Hello, Welcome to HCM .
I have gone through your query, yes during dental treatment , sugar level should be maintained as you have abscess in tooth ,so treatment is Root canal and for this you should be given anaesthesia during treatment and level should be maintained to avoid hypoglycemic shock or syncope.
Consult physician and go for RBS and go for treatment and then consult dentist for treatment.
Hope this will help you.
