Hypoglycemia symptoms at above 100 bs le
I am diabetic for last 15 years and my HbA1c levels are fluctuating between 6.2 to 6.8. At present i am under medication of Victoza 1.2 mg and metformin SR1000mg twice a day. The problem for last 3 or 4 months is after 4 hours of taking break fast or lunch ie at around 12.AM and at around 5 pm i am suffering with severe shakiness, weakness, trembling and confusion. all typical hypoglycemic symptoms. I am checking my blood sugar levels and it is always around 110-120. There is no issue with gluco meter or strips. Counter checked with different meters. After immediately taking lunch or some snacks , i am coming out of the problem. As i understood hypoglycemia happens when sugar reading falls below 70. But at around 100-110 why I am feeling all these issues? what may be the reason and what is the solution?

Chronic diabetic patients can experience hypo at level of 100-110. Both the drugs you are taking, normally don't cause hypo. However since your HbA1c level is below 7, The dose of Metformin can be reduced to 1000SR once daily.
Health Tips
adjust your meals ,eat something before your expected hypo feeling.
