Sorry for what may be a silly question, but what levels are currently recommended for Blood Glucose levels?
I have always understood that they should ideally be maintained between 4mml and 7mml. However, at my last Checkup I was told I had suffered 16 hypos, because my levels had fallen below 7mml, and I was told they should be maintained between 7mml and 12mml. I am not sure if there may have been a specific reason I was given this level, but none was offered, despite my querying it.. I know when my levels are getting low when they reach around 4mml.
Does anybody have any advice, my Driving Licence was threatened. I feel ill when my levels reach 10mml, and I worry about side effects, having been type 1 for 48 years now.
Thank you for reading and any replies.
