[QUOTE="cugila, post: 92726, member: 15325"] Hi gbswales What you are describing is the first signs that you are going into Hypo territory, Hypoglycaemia. Anything below 4 mmol/l is considered to be the 'floor' which should be avoided. This level is not high ? The symptoms you describe are your body warning you that your Bg levels are getting too low and you need to do something to raise them again. Hypo awareness. As a T2 your pre-meal levels should remain within 4 - 7 mmol/l. Lower is better, but never lower than 4 mmol/l. You will hear of people able to operate at levels below 4. This is not advisable as it is as dangerous as when your Bg levels are much too high. Neither is recommended. Here is some further information about Hypoglycaemia which may be of interest to you ?
