[QUOTE="Nicola_F, post: 584298, member: 108544"] Greeny, to be fair and honest, I can only offer my view and my understanding of what is "normal" BG levels is based on what my doctors have told me, but then the hospital nurse told me something else and the diabetic specialist another figure, frustrating!, that said taking the middle road between them all, I would have to say anything below 4.0 isn't good. Me personally, at 4.0, I'm usually heading for the lucozade at that point to tie me over until I can grab a snack of some kind. I wouldn't say any of your bloods are high, but mine don't go that often above 10.0. I was told to try and keep ,my blood sugar above 4.5 mmol and top range of about 10.0 by my doctor, but hospital diabetic specialist told me hypo's don't happen until your blood sugar dips below 3.8. As I say for me at 4.0 I would at least take some action to counter it, though I would depending if I could catch it at 4.2. the rest though look pretty good to me, maybe others could tell you more. I would still seek doctors with those especially the low 4's not sure if they the a blip would say keep checking. In all seriousness if your worried keep checking but make a doctors appointment don't do what I did, I ignored it for years until it put me on the floor being brought round by friend not just once but on three occasions and I still can't recount the exact events, all I know the last time is that I was in hospital six days. definitely not the way to do it [/QUOTE]
