Highest/lowest Reading

Ok I can understand and appreciate the concern of the forum.
Can I ask a different way?
As a general consensus, What normaly happens when blood sugar goes below 4 and what normaly happens if it goes above 10?
From what I've read on here some members have higher blood sugar readings that 10 on a regular basis.
Perhaps that is not as much as a concern as going below 4
Being only 3 weeks after diagnosed I'm looking for loads of answers off members.
 
Bumping your question up to see if anyone on the evening shift can help.

I've been put on medication after a heart attack that also made me diabetic type 2. Is a reading in the 4's now and again something to worry about?

What I'm asking from members is what would happen if it goes above or below the suggested reading?

I was given some sweets at hospital and was told to use them if I went below 4.

@ardvark, We can't answer your concerns as you have the complication of a recent heart attack, so general advice about low or high readings might not be applicable to you, and could be dangerous.
The hospital's advice was to have a sweet if you go below 4.
 
Yesterday highest reading was 6.7 (fbg). Lowest was 5.5 before evening meal.
 
My highest can be way above 20mmol my lowest recorded is 1.9mmol.
 
Yesterday (7/3) highest 6.5 (fbg). Lowest 5.2 before evening meal.
 
Yesterday (9/3) highest 6.1 (fbg), lowest 4.4 before evening meal.
 
Yesterday (10/3) lowest 4.6 before evening meal. Highest 6.6 two hours after eating.
 
Yesterday (12/3) lowest 5.3 before evening meal. Highest 7.1 two hours after eating.
