Hi Kathy,

It looks like the meds have started working for you. Your fasting bg's are

coming down.

The shakes were probably caused because your bg's have not been normal for

awhile. For some people, 70 is not too low. After your bg's are in the normal

range for awhile, you probably won't even notice a 70. However, if you do

continue to get shaky, feeling dizzy and it is because of a low number, a good

product to have with you at all times is Glucose tablets. You can buy them at

any pharmcy. You should eat one or two of them, then test 15-20 minutes later

to see if your bg's have gone up.

I'd suggest eating or drinking something to boost your BS. A small candy bar,

perhaps, or about half a can of soda.

Re:the Dawn Effect/breakfast/another question

Now for another question. Twice this week at about 6:30 PM, as I was getting

off the train to head home, I stood up and felt VERY shaky. My legs kind of

wobbly and I just felt strange. The first time I rushed home and sat down. It

went away after about 30 min. The second time, last night, I checked my BG. It

was down to 70. I am on glucatrol. Should I be concerned??? What is the best

thing to do when this happens??

Thanks
