Lowest blood sugar...?

Published

Hello

I've been a type 1 diabetic for ~25 years. I'm 32 now and in excellant control. I'm curious..what's the lowest blood sugar you've ever measured? My lowest has been 27 and I was coherent.

The lowest blood glucose level I've had on a patient was 23, and for my mother was 17. Both recovered fine after a few amps of D50. It is very scary though. The patient was diaphoretic, confused and very lethargic. When my mom get low, she gets extremely combative, confused, then diaphoretic.
