Low Blood sugar level after dinner
My mother is diabetic and on insulin Novomix 30 and Azulx MF 3 Forte. Yesterday before dinner she checked glucose level, it was 58. She skipped her insulin and just had azulix MF 3 Forte before food. In her dinner we included a mango yesterday. After 1hr of dinner we again checked her sugar level. Shockingly it was 58. We checked the glucose meter on different person, it was showing correct result. Again we gave a glass of sweet milk and after an hour it was 70. Today in morning it is 53, any suggestions and remedies please?

She has developed iatrogenic hypoglycemia.
Need to modify insulin doses and drugs.
Whenever sugars less than 70 mg/dl give two spoons of sugar or oral glucose and recheck sugars in 15 minutes.
