[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1278861, member: 138639"] [USER=194068]@james122[/USER] - Don't feel too bad about it - I am am close to the same. I will bolus at 6.5mmol/L everytime as well lol For the same reason - its not 'normal'. There is nothing wrong with being keen on ensuring that your sugars are normal. However you shouldn't feel so bad when they aren't. Having highs and lows are both damaging to your body - as well is a sudden shift from low to high, or even high to low as you cells do not like the fast shifts in BS levels. So keep that in mind too. I wouldn't really worry about 'staying low' unless youre staying under 4, or your symptoms of going low have vanished - they exist for a reason and its unsafe to operate that low without them. You should probably work on your mental game at this point lol But also being high (like you were at 13.5) can mess with your mental capacities and make you irritable and angry (even at yourself) so it may have amplified your behaviour.
