Hi n1ck, and everybody else!
I suppose some of you really will "feel the shake" as urbanracer put it, when you hear (well, ok - read) the following...
I don't feel hunger any longer (long story), but I do know when I am going too low nowadays. With "too low" in this case, I mean, I am able to react, before I get any problems to interact with my environment.
I had a period several years ago, when I was all too used, to very much too low values. The following happened twice in quite a short time. I felt a bit strange, and checked my blood sugar. Meter showed a value of 1.4 mmol/l. Well, needless to say, I didn't believe the results, so I checked once again - same result. Well, after that I almost run to the fridge And yes, I did check the values myself, and I managed to pick something to eat, without being too far away from the reality...
Today things are a bit different. Depending on how fast/slow my BS sinks, I could still go down to about 3.0 mmol/l, before I feel a need to eat something, but on the other hand - I have a Libre that helps me watch the trends...
This a little bit from my life as T1 - more to be told later...
