[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1431306, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=184281]@Eldorado[/USER] - that's a difficult one to answer. If you aren't feeling your hypos until 3, then you are starting to get into the too low zone. Ideally you should be feeling them above 3.5 mmol/l. If you are having 2-3 per week and they are getting below three then you should be concerned. I'm pinging [USER=32394]@catapillar[/USER] who can discuss hypo unawareness and the issues it causes. If you still had hypo awareness between 3.8 and 4.0 then there would be no issues. What your nurse says about 5 is just a load of old codswallop though. It's probably worth taking a look at what's causing your hypos and where you're getting to and trying to work out how to improve how low you go. I don't think 2-3 per week between 3.5 and 4.0 is too extreme (especially given that non-Ds get to that range regularly), however, 2-3 at 3.0 is too many. [/QUOTE]
