Wow! 56 and 72. My daughter is hypoglycemic and these numbers are very low! I dont know if this has anything to do with CM and would encourage you to check tomorrow. But either way, these are extremely low and very dangerous. I know when my daughter is having emotional stress, or is ill her numbers get very low. We monitor her very closely and when they dont seem to respond to food and sugars, we give her gluclose tabs. Not sure if you have any of these laying around.
Please be very careful until you see the Dr. tomorrow!
Hi....I would deff let ur Dr know and see what he has to say.
I always had low sugar levels too and it was discovered when I was pregnant with my DD....I have not had my sugar levels checked in a few yrs....and I have no idea if this could be CM related. thyroid related....
Do ask ur Dr and let us know what u find out.

Thanks for the info..i will be careful..i ate a burrito about an hr ago and checked it again and it was 94 so i guess that is better...i saw your post about the pain in ur jaw and face and the lump...im guessing the lump is on the back of your neck?? I had this when I first started having problems with the HA before i was diag with chiari...my pcp said it was just a swollen lymph node and after a round of steroids it went away. but the jaw and neck pain stayed so my personal opinion is that it is chiari related but i would still take the others advice and check with ur NS or go to ER. Let us know how things turn out...will say a prayer for you!
Thanks, i will def bring it up at out appt tom. Suppose to discuss surgery because of the issues i had last week, he thinks its time. A little nervous but sooo ready to get some relief. Thanks for the input! Wish me luck!
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and most definately mention the low blood sugar to your dr. I would suggest you keep some orange juice also in the frig, but at low 50's is very low. If your feeling funny I had to give my dad a 1/2 spoon of sugar to get it back up quick. I also have learned if you over exercise this could cause your sugar to drop. Let us know about your appt. Wish you the best.
yes, thats a much better number. We try to keep my daughter around 80-100. her body seems to always stay mid 80s when at a normal stage. But when it drops, things get scary very fast. Glad your getting it checked today. Let me know what they say.
Thanks for the info. Yes I do think its my lymph node. Its in the front, right of the thyroid...which was my first thought. I talked to my neighbor last night and she couldnt believe how sensitive it is. Even more today. Thinking its weird that its just the right side, thought they worked together. Still hurting, waiting to see how feels today.
Sorry cannot write a lot as arm is broken,but i have similar episodes from chiari...get it checked
