Ok, some info.
I'm 19 male and have been working out for 2 1/2 hours every other day for the last 3 months, and noticed that my blood sugar level has been as low as 1.6 and just now 4.4. My gran has diabetes, so i was wondering if i have it?? or is it just the fact that I eat nothing sweet apart from fruit...ever (no soft drinks, sweets etc). I understand insulin controls glucose levels and keeps them lower than 7.0ish but what does it mean if its too low?
I'm currently trying to research this using search engines, any advice from you people would be much appreciated

If you had untreated diabetes, your blood sugar levels would be too high, rather than too low. (it's injecting insulin that makes your blood sugar go too low if you haven't eaten)
Hope that helps!
If you're still worried call up the NHS Direct helpline for a chat.
Thanks
Hope that helps but as everyone else has said seeing your doctor is the best advice.
