Why Am I Low And Cant Feel It ?
I am a diabetic and i had just recently checked my blood sugar and it was 45 and it surprised me because my body did not give of the proper symptoms. My eyesight was fine i had small tingling in my fingers but nothing serious i did not feel tired. That scares me because my body at 45 should not be acting like that. What could be wrong with me?

- Most of the times, its a meter/instrument error.
- Sometimes, when diabetes is very long standing and uncontrolled, due to neuropathy there is 'Hypoglycemia unawareness', in which body symptomatically fails to respond to hypoglycemia.
