If your blood sugar levels are consistently low and not rising, it could be due to several factors:
- Excessive Insulin or Medication: Taking too much insulin or diabetes medication can cause blood sugar to drop too low.
- Skipping Meals: Not eating enough or skipping meals can lead to low blood sugar levels.
- Physical Activity: Intense or prolonged exercise can lower blood sugar levels.
- Medical Conditions: Conditions like hypothyroidism or adrenal insufficiency can affect blood sugar regulation.
If you're experiencing persistent low blood sugar, consult your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan. They may recommend changes in medication, diet, or exercise routines.
