[QUOTE="Ellenor2000, post: 2078986, member: 508208"] 4.5 to 6 is a rather wide range and tops out at a number I just do not feel well at. My fbgs are usually 4s or low 5s. Add .5 mM for postmeal. I do not seem to be affected by 3s if they're stable, but if I drop into the 3s (or 2s I've seen on Libre but I suspect they actually map to low 3s) from, say, bingeing on caffeine (caffeine appears to make me DROP, not rise as it would make someone with a degree of type 1 physiology do), or from someone shooting me with a pistol loaded with insulin bullets (this is not a thing that has happened, but is a conspiracy theory I have had before), I become shaky, cold, vasoconstricted and possibly irritable. Hypos I get appear to be almost entirely mediated by caffeine. The solution for that is, of course, to quit or reduce coffee. I'm mainly referring to the kind of mental instability you'd see from swinging between 3.x and 9.x, as I would have done (never got measurements, sadly, but the level of thirst I had at the end, essentially bingeing on fruit juice, suggests that I was running numbers above 6.0 a lot of the time) before I started my LC/HF regime.
