On my way with pre-op
Hi Missey 
I wouldn't be concerned with a 107 fasting glucose reading. I'm about 6 weeks post-op and I have been off my Type II meds since the day before surgery. I still test daily -- first thing in the morning, so fasting -- I'm always between 80 and 100. That's typically tagged as non-diabetic. My research shows that glucose levels below 60 would be dangerously low.
My guess is that what you are feelig is a bit of weakness or/and feeling lightheaded. I get that and was told it's my body getting used to the really low carb consumption. It doesn't happen as often now, but I do notice it right after working out even though it's on a limited basis at this point.
Always check with our doctor about these things. In a pinch, if you are at home and you find your glucose is too low, drink a small amount of orange juice or some milk. If you are going to be out and about or have to be at work, keep a roll of life savers in your purse. Have a couple of those if you need them. But seriously, 107 should not be a problem at all.
Good luck.
