[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 2300335, member: 352098"] In somebody who is not taking any blood-sugar lowering medication, that is the majority of the population, it is possible for the BS to drop below 4 mml without it being dangerous in any way. A hypo which needs to be treated is defined as being below 4 mml, because for anyone who is insulin or is on some other drug designed to lower BS, the level is going to continue to drop lower because of the drug or insulin which has already been taken. You may feel rough at 4 mml if your body is used to much higher levels, but this is not actually dangerous. Just trying to explain your doctor's reaction to the mention of the term 'hypo'. If you find a lowish test result seems to be associated with a migraine, I suspect this may be possible for you as an individual. I have never had migraine. Have you had it before or is this something new ? I think some type 2s may be better placed to offer more detailed advice. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
