[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2623057, member: 372207"] For non diabetics it's not unusual to see numbers in the higher 3's. What is unusual is that it takes you so long to recover from a hypo. As a T1 on insulin, hypos are simply part of the deal, and usually I just treat and get on with whatever I was doing. Hypos being dangerous is usually reserved for diabetics on glucose lowering medication like gliclazide or insulin, and even then they are only really dangerous if you are hypo-unaware so you don't treat. In diabetics who are treated with diet, or metformin, hypos aren't dangerous as a rule. [/QUOTE]
