[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 635060, member: 17713"] I am concerned about the low levels and far from saying change diet... I would be saying get meds altered. I know from a type 1 point of view that you would NOT be classified as "safe to drive" with levels under 5.0. So if this was applied in a loose sort of sense to your partner then the feelings he is getting are close to being hypo pretty much all the time, and being a type 1 I know how these feelings at 4ish constantly can screw your brain up. Honestly 5 is deemed to be a normal level with rises for non diabetics.. So being lower is no good. If partner us happy with his new eating I wouldn't be in a rush to change it! But then I'm a type 1. It is very important to like your foods on a sustainable basis. If he is getting good results from food he likes then good for him. I too would be feeling bad with levels constantly at 4.0 as the brain is not getting high enough bg's... [/QUOTE]
