Having Problems with Low Blood Glucose
In general, a blood glucose reading lower than 70 mg/dL is too low. If you take insulin or diabetes pills,
you can have low blood glucose (also called hypoglycemia). Low blood glucose is usually caused by
eating less or later than usual, being more active than usual, or taking too much diabetes medicine.
Drinking beer, wine, or liquor may also cause low blood glucose or make it worse.
Low blood glucose happens more often when you’re trying to keep your glucose level near normal.
This is no reason to stop trying to control your diabetes. It just means you have to watch more carefully
for low levels. Talk this over with your health care team.
