[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2185157, member: 372717"] Plenty of non diabetics go below 4 when they are fasting, and just feel hungry, with no fear of going lower. The problem for us T1s is that we can go a lot lower than 4, hence the dire warnings by our clinicians. I also remember reading somewhere that T1s who live on a keto diet can and do run much lower levels, because they are running on ketones??? Personally if I run my levels too low I start losing hypo awareness, and have to run them high (6 to 12) for a while to regain it. And even so my awareness now isn't as good as it was 20 years ago. But I hate and loath hypos and do a [I]lot [/I]of work to avoid them... [/QUOTE]
