I bought a glucose monitor, just to be sure, and I was having low blood sugar within a few hours of taking it, which resolved once I stopped the ALA.
Yes, I am not diabetic either. Do you normally get low blood sugar (shakiness, confusion, irritability...) if you don't eat frequently enough or have enough protein? I've always had that issue and the ALA made it rage.
