Tomorrow I have an appointment to see my PCP, he treats my diabetes. I have a stand alone program that I use to track my blood test results and insulin use. I always run a separate report showing my lows, my doctor always asks me because of my history with lows. In the last month, I had several lows in the low 30's. I don't know how to explain my lows to my doctor. I do have some trends but I really can't pinpoint any one problem. It could be that I didn't know the exact carb amounts and took too much insulin, maybe I skipped a meal and went low, ect. I think he expects me to not have any lows and I haven't been able to control the lows. He doesn't ask questions about any high readings and I had 3 readings in one month above 200, which all 3 times I ended up eating away from home and didn't take my insulin with me, so those could have been avoided. My doctor does not like lows and is concerned that I may go low while driving, this has never happened. When taking insulin, is it possible to not have any lows? And I am aware that a reading in the low 30's is different than a 50-60 reading.
