[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2569955, member: 527103"] When not on medication, my understanding is it is not considered a hypo above 3.5. The limit of 4 is imposed to reduce risk for people on blood glucose lowering medication like insulin. For years before I had diabetes. I would occasionally get a bit shaky if I had not eaten for some time. I never tested my blood at the time but it would not surprise me if my levels were on the low side when it happened. Knowing this was a possibility for me, I would always carry food (usually a muesli bar) with me in case there was a delay between meals. I never considered this to be related to diabetes and I never took any medical advice until I had the usual diabetes symptoms of high blood sugars such as frequent weeing, extreme tiredness, thirst and blurred eye sight. Still the GP I first saw thought it was a UTI. But that's another story. Thankfully, the second GP tested for diabetes and I was diagnosed as having Type 1. [/QUOTE]
