SPR Low Blood Sugar

I posted about two weeks ago about a low blood sugar event while driving to my friends’ house. Well, after starting the SPR program, the problem is getting worse. Overall, it is good that my blood sugar is averaging much lower, but the extreme lows are scary. I received a critical low blood sugar warning Thursday on the way to work:

The reading actually got down to 53 on a prior scan. That is really low. I was brought to the ER when my blood sugar dropped to below 40 post-heart transplant. I mentioned this to my nephrologist yesterday and she said I should taper down my Toujeo insulin shot until my morning blood glucose is over 100.

After fighting high blood sugar, especially after the kidney transplant, it is refreshing to see a consistently normal blood sugar reading, especially with less insulin shots.
