Low numbers all day
I’m on day 11 of wearing the CGM and today was rough, as you can see. The big meals got the numbers up but they’ve been stubbornly hanging in the 50s all day, even dipped to 41-42 at one point. I messaged the Endo this evening. I have my period, is that what’s making today extra bad? Food choices were mostly standard for me. I’ve felt tired and yucky most of the day, but had I not been wearing the monitor, I would have chalked it up to just being run down (I’m 42, work full time and have a young child and I’m on my period). Anyway- any insights here? What in the heck is going on!
Background is that I had a random 51 glucose on a nonfasting blood test (about 90 min after a solid breakfast). The GI doc that ordered the test said it was nothing but I pushed it to my PCP and she referred to Endo. I have A1C and thyroid tests this week plus a cortisol test.
