I had a number of 62 the other day after breakfast and have had some 70s after dinner. I figured I didn't eat enough and had a snack, but I plan to ask my doctor this week. If you get an answer let me know I am super curious why I have such wide swings!
Your fasting numbers should be between 70-90 and your 1 1/2 to 2 hours post meal numbers should be 80-120. I am not saying that I haven't had similar numbers, but when I get one like that I do try to up the amount of carbs at the next similar meal.
my doctor said that, as long as i'm not on insulin, she's not concerned about a low. i was a 62 in her office yesterday and she asked if i felt faint or dizzy/tired. if so, i should have a snack, if not, don't worry about it. But check with your doctor.
Re: whats too low?
Too low according to my dietician.
