[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 706278, member: 85785"] [USER=22572]@pavlosn[/USER], what a great and thought out post, I had to read it twice to take it in, I'm going for a third one after replying! As a non diabetic and I do fast time to time, my body doesn't allow me to go below 4.1. I don't know the science or even bothered to find out! My 'normal' level is between 4.3 & 5.5. I have to maintain the range under 6 to stop me spiking then going hypo. My consultant even on my 72 hour fasting test was pushing me to hypo whilst fasting but my body said no! I believe that there is no definitive advice than to keep your bloods around the 4-6 range to. Feel better and be healthier. You shouldn't really be obsessive about getting down too low. I'm sure you by now know where you want to be! If you want to experiment that's fine! I do most of the time, seeing what certain combinations of food does to me, how much of a certain food can I tolerate. We are all different, unique! There is a certain limit to generalise any tests with diabetes. It all depends on the ratio of insulin/ glucagon to diet! There's no way I would tackle that! Every study I've seen cannot be comprehensive in its findings. Thanks again for the post, it is really good reading! [/QUOTE]
