Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

Isnt 4.7 a little on the low side. When in hospital and my level went down low I was given either a couple of biscuits or a glass of orange juice. Ive been told that my levels should be between 5 and 8.

Not for me, everyone is different and I’ve been down as low as 4.1 fasting and I am fine.

It could depend on whether you are on medication that can cause hypos, @ProsperoB . If so the HCPs tend to prefer BG a bit higher.

Not necessarily @ProsperoB.

Your profile doesn't tell us the type of diabetes you've developed, and whether treated with medication or diet alone.. Might be helpful to know, if you would like opinions from members based on their experience,

Once again welcome.
