Hey, I had a question because I'm a bit confused about what happened last night.
Currently my sugars are running a bit high because I'm working with my doctor with a new insulin pump.
Anyway, I got a 50 minute hot stone massage yesterday. I felt amazing after. I didn't notice anything wrong or different with my blood sugar immediately after the massage. I didn't notice anything until 7am the next morning when I woke up shaking. I know these numbers might confuse you but it's not the number so much as the drop that I'm confused about, and how long it took to drop.
I went to bed around 2:30am and my blood sugar was at 313, so I took a tiny tiny bit of insulin (0.8u) and went to sleep. I woke up at 7am with my blood sugar at 130. I know 130 is a great number but my body isn't used to it being that low in a while so I was feeling it, and shaking a bit. I was sooooooo confused why it dropped so much.
After thinking I looked up massage and diabetes and read that your blood sugar can drop during or a few hours after getting a massage. But my sugar took like, 12-15 hours to drop after my massage. Do you still think the reason for the random drop is the massage? Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thank you.
edit: I got the massage done at 3pm yesterday
