Question readings from 180 to 39

hi. the other day i felt disoriented, was shaking bad enough my teeth were chattering and felt like i was going to throw up. my husband called the rescue squad, my blood sugar was 179. i ad drank a glass of pepsi while waiting and had ate dinner about an hour before. the next morning i started to feel like that again and drank orange juice and had someone check it and it was 39. i have not been tested for diabetes.i had it checked again the day it was 39 and it was 190. is it possible for blood sugar to vary that much without there being something wrong? i am 34 and under weight. thanks.

You should go to the doctor and be checked to see if you are hypogycemic.

That would be hypoglycemic, with an "L" in there for anyone trying to do a google search on this.

You are definitely having abnormal bloodsugar swings. What did you use to measure your bloodsugar? Are you absolutely sure that the readings are accurate? A reading of 39 would result in many people being on the brink of unconciousness. And a random measurement of 180+ would be classified as diabetes by many. If the measurements are accurate, you really do need to get to a doctor and find out what is causing this. It could be insulin resistance, or hyperinsulinemia; although, being underweight with those conditions is rather rare. It could be a multitude of things, or it could just be a matter of the type of foods and drinks you are consuming. If you are eating a high carbohydrate and sugar diet with little if any protein or natural fat, then this could be contributing to your large bloodsugar swings.
