Can a person with a blood sugar reading of 2.4 mean what they say

This thread has got a bit confused, but I hope you feel you have some answers to your questions, Jools. I think the answer to "can a person with a blood sugar reading of 2.4 mean what they say?" is "yes, they can - but on the other hand they could also talk absolute gibberish, so it wouldn't be surprising if that happened to you - you might have said all sorts of things you didn't mean when you were hypo".

I hope your appointment goes well on Thursday. It's definitely worth asking your GP to advise you about making sure your records are corrected. It is entirely possible you gave the paramedics inaccurate information yourself, but that wasn't your fault if you were too ill to know what you were saying, and you obviously need to get it changed.

As Mike says, no-one here can diagnose, but it's good that they've done blood tests for things like Addisons as well as for diabetes - I hope you get a diagnosis soon.

The meter you have is showing readings in md/dL, which are the units used in the USA and some other parts of the world. In the UK we use meters which display in mmol/L. To convert the numbers on your meter divide by 18 to get mmol/L 🙂

From your picture, the readings show you are quite high before eating, especially the Sunday one which converts to 13.3 mmol/L - a normal level before eating should be around 4-7 mmol/L. Have you had an HbA1c test or a glucose tolerance test?

Yes I have, a few times, but I'm always borderline everything!

That's really helpful. Thank you.
