I am puzzled because I ve been measuring my blood sugar levels and they seem to be in the normal range. 95-98 in the am, 105- 110 within a half hr. to an hr. after eating. I feel pretty awful after I eat, as if my sugar is off. UNsure of when I should measure and what I am looking for

Hello,
Hypoglycemia is considered to be present when blood glucose level goes below 60 to 70 mg / 100 ml. Usually when blood glucose level goes down below 60 mg a person may start feeling uneasy. May get mild tremors, sweating over forehead, slight blurring of vision, hungry feeling, inability to concentrate and tired feeling.
If blood glucose goes further low, then these symptoms become intense and person may become unconscious. (Hypoglycemia is most likely to occur when one has remained without ant food intake for a very long time (over 10 to 12 hours). But this usually does not happen in normal individuals as our internal hormones correct the situation by breaking down glycogen to glucose to increase blood glucose.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be happy to help if you have further queries.
Thanks,
