I have a friend who is Type1 (I'm 2). He has the sensor monitor which he showed me the other day. His blood sugar was something like 14. I kind of blurted out in surprise as my levels are never usually over 6.5, pre or post eating.
He is on an insulin pump.
He said that 14 can be rather low for him as sometimes his reading is in the early 20's.
But I thought Type 1's have a tendency to go too low rather than too high???
According to NICE, Type 1's acceptable range is not all that different to Type 2s.
Or am I wrong?
