[QUOTE="Lampet77, post: 929412, member: 181621"] I find my doc and nurse seem to get twitchy at anything below 4, yet my non diabetic boyfriend will regularly test out in the 3s after a long cycle (regularly as in most times he does long rides and I decide to test him, not each day) I test him for interest from time to time. I know when my BS is below about 4.2, but I don't panic about it if dinner is going to be on my plate in 20 mins and I end up finally eating dinner at 3.8/9. I just reduce my meal bolus by a unit or so and I've found no adverse effects in terms of going hypo again after. I've never lost consciousness in 16 years. And I can't remember a time I've gone below 3 as the sweating, shaking and ravenous hunger has already set in and been seen off with some sweets. I'd rather be 3.8 than 12 as my meal arrives even though my GP seems to prefer the other way round. It's probably less than once a week though. [/QUOTE]
