The lowest reading that I have recorded, and was still conscious, is 24. I was in high school playing football. We began practice a couple of weeks before school even started. During these initial practices we would have "two a days". (two practices a day, morning and afternoon)
One time after one of these grueling days I came home in the early evening. I was tired. I sat down and just thought about the day. My mom was cooking dinner and it was almost ready. I was not having low blood sugar symptoms I felt fine just a little tired.
Dinner was ready. I checked my blood sugar with my meter. 24! I freaked out. What was worse was my mom freaked out. The strange thing was that I had no symptoms but when I saw the low number then I started to shake and twitch.
The good thing was that I remained conscious the entire time. (I hate losing time)
I have never caught a reading anywhere near that since. 45 - 55 is not an unusual occurence if I feel like I am low.
