[QUOTE="gbswales, post: 92720, member: 21675"] I have never actually had a hypo (type 2) but find whenever my blood sugar drops to about 4 I start to get symptoms suggesting of hypo - unnatural sweating is the first sign I notice - it starts to get much worse at around 3.5 and have never let it go below this. This seems quite high to me (tested with several meters to make sure not a faulty meter) when I see people on here saying they are aiming at 4-5 as a normal pre meal level. I want to avoid hypos at all costs is it possible that some peoples levels are different in this way or does every normal person average 5 - I would find it almost impossible to maintain the 6-7 threshold that some people talk about without risking the possibility of a hypo [/QUOTE]
