Between 4 and 6 is perfectly 'normal'.

Indeed. It's when it's below 4 that I'm not happy....

Lowest I have ever been was a 3.8 bgl fasting, that made me think about what I had for dinner / drank the night before...

yes, I registered a 4.8 recently! I generally seem to test around 5/6 though...

To think, I used to get 'false hypos' when I was around 6.x...

Sure. Injected insulin does that sometimes.

No, never - but I test after eating so unlikely to see anything so low.

The lowest mine goes is 4.1 and I know it’s low because I am very shaky and feel awful.

Dislikes

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

I've been down in the 4s a few times.
Really pleased me.

My Libre showed me down in the 3s which made me cross check.
Unfortunately not.
Still trying to work out at what BG level my liver kicks in and dumps on me.
