ive been 16 before and handled it better than a 45. crazy how the body has better moments than other times. if you are getting lows a half hour after eating and you are sure you didnt over insulin yourself, then you may wanna make an appointment with a gastro doctor. gastroparesis affects 80% of diabetics so i would venture to say that it affects 95-100% of type1 sooner or later. mine has been mild for 5 years, but the last year has seen it worsen and now i experience its effects daily even if only mild, and delayed digestion is a curse for us that have to take insuline.
Experiencing dangerously low blood sugar (41 mg/dL) after eating can be concerning. Here are some potential reasons based on the knowledge base:
- Insulin Dosing: If you took more insulin than needed for the meal, it could cause hypoglycemia
- Physical Activity: Vigorous exercise can lower blood glucose levels, even hours Show Full Answer
