That is a perfectly healthy, normal blood sugar and certainly isn't hypoglycaemia.Non diabetic, non medicated people can experience low blood sugar that might need treating in someone who is at risk from blood sugar lowering medication. So because we are on insulin we have a strict cut off, don't go under 4, whereas a non diabetic, non medicated person might perfectly happily run at between 3.8-4.5 and not have any problems with that. Equally, the most typical reasons for a non diabetic non medicated person having low blood sugar will be perfectly simple, non medical reasons: they've not eaten for ages or they've done a tonne of exercise.</blockquote>
