Why are my blood glucose levels low?

I am 18, overweight, pre-diabetic. I have lost some weight the past few months, and have started eating healthier- portion control, very little sweets, more fruits and veggies, and exercising more often. I am, however, feeling lightheaded a lot, very cold, shaky, and sleepy. I measured my glucose levels this morning before eating, and they were at 38. Yesterday afternoon they were 65 at noon and 70 one hour later. Is this normal, or could there be something going on? Can it be diabetes? Hypoglycemia?

It sounds like hypoglycemia. you definitely want to go to the doctor because those levels are dangerous. I have had my sugars go really low like that and felt paralyzed and had to crawl for help. make sure that you are eating before you exercises to keep your glucose levels up. Your doctor will probably do a blood test and then recommend seeing a nutritionist to make sure that you are eating enough, and eating the right things.
