[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1591245, member: 94045"] You are doing very well. Those post meal levels are fine. Well done. :) There is such a thing as a false hypo. This is when your glucose drops lower than your body has been used to. (and with an HbA1c of 60 your body has been used to high levels for a while). You get the hypo symptoms without actually having a hypo. It is possible this is what is happening to you. I can't say for sure of course, but if it is, feeding these feelings with something like a banana isn't going to help. All it will do is raise your glucose levels higher than they need be, and your body will carry on believing these levels are too low, so the shakiness will continue. As you say, under 4 is hypo territory. 4.3 to 4.5 is normal. To stop the shaky feeling a cup of tea or coffee with a drop of milk would be enough. The body will soon learn that 4.3 to 4.5 isn't too low. [/QUOTE]
