Type 2 diabetes question. If my body has become used to high sugar levels could normal sugar levels make me feel sick?

I have been pretty good about my diet, exercise, and medication, but I have had multiple instances where I just feel awful. When I check my sugar when I feel that way, it's been in the 80s or 90s. Before I was more running in the 180 range.

or it could just be low-blood sugar -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 15, 15:55 3
- I think that's the thing. Normal blood sugar feels like low blood sugar to me. -- nm - Dano Jan 15, 15:59 1
  - It may be like that if your sugars normally run high. -- nm - kelly Jan 15, 16:10
- usually it's considered low if below 70, but low-for-him could definitely be a thing. -- nm - b. Jan 15, 15:57
