Around 3:30 his CGM said 72 mg/dL, but dropping a little. I checked his blood sugar for a snack and his reading was...gasp... 26 mg/dL. We looked at each other in shock for a second and I grabbed the liquid glucose post-haste. He stopped me and said "no Mommy, I'm sure it's wrong. I feel perfect. I'm going to wash my hands and recheck!".
A lot of thoughts went through my head...
1) did I screw up his lunch shot that badly...is Regular peaking hard?
2) what will washing his hands do for a low??? 🤔
3) I hope he doesn't pass out while washing his hands!
He came back perfectly calm, rechecked, and he was 78 mg/dL.
WHEW! Holy moly! Talk about getting a Mama's heart rate going! 🥴
But this begs the question... what can cause a false low THAT far off? Just a bad strip? I'm not sure, but I sure am glad I trusted him and retested.
