If you're taking gluconorn pg 2 it is advisable to change it. It contains glimepride which can cause sugars to dip. Also need more details like duration of diabetes and recent hba1c. Your renal function needs to be evaluated too as kidney disease can make your blood sugar go down.

Mr. j lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. However, I need to know when was the blood glucose checked? Was it fasting one? If it is fasting 80 mg or 95 mg it is absolutely fine. Low blood glucose is when fbg goes < 70 mg, at that there will be symptoms of hypoglycemia. Up to 70 mg is fine. Please check your hba1c5 as well as your after food level too. Also please inform about your weight, height, extent of daily exercise and dietary pattern. Plus get serum creatinine and urea levels done. Then come back with those details. Then I will be able to give a clear guideline. Thanks.
