[QUOTE="cugila, post: 120463, member: 15325"] Those levels are too low. What was your pre meal reading ? A hypo is a hypo whoever you are. Those that don't experience any symptoms are perhaps fortunate, and misguided if they think that is normal. It is entirely their choice, we just give you the medical opinion. The facts. The medical recommendation is that you don't drop below 4 mmol/l. Below that level is considered hypoglycaemic and is not a good place to be for anybody. Here is some information from a previous thread which discussedHypoglycaemia:"How low can you go." [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11023#p103651]viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11023#p103651[/url] If you have no symptoms then that means that you are hypo unaware. As a T2 you should 'liver dump' and this will bring the levels back up to a more normal level. I certainly wouldn't want to be that low as my awareness is very good. I start to get the symptoms at around 4.5 mmol/l. and can do something to rectify it. I am also on hypo inducing Med's and a T2. if you were a T1 it could quite simply be a life threatening situation if left and not treated. [/QUOTE]
