Hey all! I was just wondering, what is your lowest low?

Mine was one night where I had 17 units of Humalog instead of lantus and I got a 32 by the time I caught it and I had to eat 450 carbs! 

Does anyone else have any interesting stories like this?

hmm well mine was a 20......

Mine was under 20 because the lowest my meter would read was 20 so it said LO.  The scary thing is that I was still walking and talking!  Slammed 2 glucose shots and was OK.

The lowest I've SEEN mine is 19.  I was walking and talking- on my way to lunch in high school.  I felt a little woozy, but otherwise was... okay.  Weak, but ok.

I know that I've gone lower than that because I've been in insulin shock comas.  I've heard you have to be at 10 or lower to go into those. 

Not fun 

the lowest I can remember was 19 but I remember when I went camping and my meter read Lo 2 nights in a row. I thought it was because of the fact that it was so cold outside.

Came in one day in the summer heat a couple years back from excessive yardwork and popped a 32.....scary stuff.

I had below 30 on a trip back home to see my family. Freaked my mother out! Me too! I ate 6 cubes of Traubenzucker (translated : grape sugar.... sugare which goes direct in the blood stream) Hope not to never pass out from low blood sugarr (fingers crossed or in Germany language "druck die daumen
")

I'm not sure of my lowest low.  Remember it has a lot to do with rate of change, not absolurte value as to how you feel with a low. It is very possible to slowly decent to a value in the 20's' and still seem somewhat ok (not really) and it is also possible to rapidly descend into the high 40's and be really out of it.  I know that in my 54 years the first 30 or so with no BG meters many times I was in the teens and lay crawling  on the floor and banging my head into things.  Knock on wood that I have never needed Adreline (used before Glucagon) or Glucagon or been hospitalized for a low.

I didn't know they use to use adrenaline Andy. Thanks for teaching me something new today! 

my lowest low was 3.4 and the highest I've been is 25.8

i think my lowest was around 20 or so,  I was asleep and my girlfriend found me in the early a.m. seizing in the bed next to her!!! got her attention real quick!

I think it was like 30 somthing. It was in gym class after I had not eaten breakfast and ran a mile.

So, far my lowest low was 3.0. I didn't feel too different then I normally do.I just felt shaky and my stomach hurt ( I thought it was becasue I might have been hungry).  But I think it was just the stess I was under at the time. ( One of my parents very ill.) Shortly before I was diagnosed, during lunch time I got very weak, felft dizzy and had the worst hunger pains I've ever had in my life. I relaize now that my sugar must have been very low. ( I got home and had some lunch and I felt 100% better. )

The nurse told me afterwards that I could have passed out. Scary!

29. which resulted me in having a seizure.

My lowest was 15 and I was asleep and in a Seizure. Something made my mom wake up and check on me. Good thing.

The lowest my son has been was 37.  We were outside playing and he just stopped, walked to the porch and sat down.  I looked at him and he was so out of it he did not even know where he was!  Got him back up and he was fine, but it scared the crap out of me!  He was 4 at the time!  He is so much better now at verbalizing what is going on with him!

My lowest was a 35, and that was right after I was diagnosed and still mixing insulins. I have been rather fortunate not to ever get that low (that I know of) again. That was 4.5 years ago.

I had one once at 25, but screw that crap and did not allow it to happen again. I realize that  the liver can store energy for a long time, and  I have to think what I ate yesterday as well as today. Usually, I hit in the 80-110 range but some days the blood sugar climbs a bit, but a shot of humalog egets it back usually in 30 mintes and with exercise much faster. I am pretty good at estimating my insulin needs and give myself a steady supply with humalog injections every two hours. I usually need only a small injection but I do have my days as any one does.

I never mix insulins. That is way too complicated. I just use one type humalog injected every two hours usually. Some days I can go a bit longer if I eat fewer carbs and can last up to four hours with exercise. I also exercise up to three hours per day, which burns off any excess fatty acids created by temporary highs. I pretty much decided long acting was worthless for me and does nothing to deal with the lipids.

If yours was that low, you are lucky to be alive.
