Should I Be Concerned About Sweating, Headache, And Drowsiness During Dropped Sugar Levels?
My blood sugar dropped to 56 I drank some orange juice got it to 63. So I took 3 tablets of glopaugh. Got it to 123. Gave 10 units of fast acting insulin and ate dinner. Had a porkchop, califlower, cottage cheese and a small glass of milk. Blood sugar an hour later at 123 but I fell terrible. Sweating, headache, and sleepy. Should I call a doctor.

dear sir I understand your concern.my question is simple why are you taking rapid acting insulin at bed time.rapid acting insulin will work very fast and it's very strong also.you are gaving low sugars your rapid acting insulin will make it still low.all the symptoms you are telling are due to hypo glycemic.my suggestion is to go for long acting insulin like glargin or levimer.advise to consult your doc and try to change insulin and readjust your dose ....regards
