[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2594540, member: 480869"] i’ll say it again. Diabetes does not cause lows. Hunger can though! Being low carb isn’t and shouldn’t be about being hungry. You need to add in more fats and proteins to your meals to avoid this and they won’t raise blood glucose. If you need a snack just choose something low carb and bloods will be ok. It’s perfectly normal and common to be in the 3’s especially for non type 2 people. It is not dangerous in itself. The reason there is a limit of 4 set is for people on medication that might prevent the liver bringing it back up or cause rapid lowering into levels that can be dangerous which are lower than this. The level of 4 allows them time to treat it before it becomes dangerous. If it happens often you do need to establish why (hunger being an obvious cause here). As a one off I’d say it was just one of those things. Or a random meter error which they all are allowed as they are not precise machines. Your anxiety is causing disordered eating now (deliberate hunger, scared of eating). You really need to see your dr about this health anxiety. It’s a real issue. Please go see your dr. [/QUOTE]
