[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 937180, member: 148713"] In non-diabetics the lower end of the normal range is 2.2. Type 1 Diabetics should never go that low because we usually have insulin on board. So clinical guidelines for hypos are set to take that into account. But your boyfriend's BSs are totally normal. Our hypo symptoms reflect what our body is accustomed too. Because most Type 1s keep their blood sugar at the high end of normal or higher than normal, they feel hypo symptoms even when they are in the normal range (around 4, for example). Clinically speaking, this may be a good thing! Personally, I tend to feel best in the high 3s. But I don't try to stay there because it gives me no margin for error. [/QUOTE]
