Why is your Glucose so low?

Hi Vince. I don't know why glucose was 39. I believe the lab repeated the assay from a retained sample and confirmed the result. No prior history of severe hypoglycemia. A1C has trended in a good range.

Your blood glucose is awfully low and you’d definitely be symptomatic if that was your real reading at the time. I’m a Paramedic and I’ve had patients with a blood glucose that low still appear fairly normal with the only complaint being weakness. Most other people, I would assume that specially non diabetics, would be very symptomatic with a blood glucose of 39 (I.e. confused, diaphoretic, incoherent, weak etc.)
