Blood Glucose Monitoring At Home

5.3mmol/l night time glucose levels.?
Hiya, i have slight suspicians about being diabetic so got a home glucose monitor a while ago to test my levels as i did not want to to to my doctor if it turned out to be nothing. I have had an increased thirst and very often im getting classis ‘low sugar’ like feelings.. atleast on a weekly basis, this has happened every night now too, and i am having to keep food and glucose tablets in my room to help me feel better. tonight i was feeling like the classic low blood sugars e.g: faint, headache, craving for sweets, dizzy, suden need for food, and an increase in my depressive mood. When i took my sugar levels it read at 5.3mmol/l and i have had a normal dinner like i would normally would but also had chocolate around 10 olock, is this normal? i have had some dextro tablets and feeling better now.. do you think it could be a sign of diabetes? i get problems with blurred vision ect and wonder if its all linked?
please help me, thank you
Well, micksmix is cock on as ever! I’m not even going to try to improve on his answer. Good luck!
