Are you by chance on an anti inflammatory diet? Or dehydrated? My sugar has been low at times and it is often because I haven't hydrated enough. I'm also eating way better than I ever have, in other words, I've cut the bad carbs and sugar out.
I keep peppermint or butterscotch hard candy around and have one if I get lightheaded. I haven't found any "good" candy lol, but I do eat a little bit of chocolate almost dailey. (It has the least sodium.) If I miss a day, I think my sugar goes down because I am light headed.
I also suffer from naseau to the point I thought something else was wrong.
You're right. This disease is tough.

@cyndiefromnc I am doing mostly anti inflammatory diet. Cut sugars and sodium, healthy carbs only. I hydrate well. Just weird how I get shaky and a little irritated until I eat something. Ugh
