This may sound like a silly question: I have recently been diagnosed and would have a question about hypos as I have not been able to find an answer anywhere so far.
How concerned should one be about hypoglycemia, when it is only ever so close to the 4.0 mmol/L limit, e.g. 3.9 or 3.8.
I use a FreeStyle FreeStyle Libre CGM System to monitor my blood sugar and have noted how at night is sometimes very close the 4.0 mmol/L limit, usually at that level or slightly above. Only once it has gone further down to 3.6.
Should I be concerned when it goes ever so slightly below that limit or is it just common and harmless.
By way of context, the only medicine I take is Metformin (2,000 MG). I have a low carb diet and I am experimenting with intermittent fasting.
