Can a non diabetic go as low as 3.8 even after eating chocolate, having full fat coke and popcorn? Would you get them tested ?
 
My favourite diabetes Consultant (non-diabetic) told me that he often went down as low as 3.5.
If he is happy with that, I wouldn't worry.

Yes, I even went as low as 2.3 mmol back then when I was non diabetic. So yes it is possible.

It happened today with my 10 year old daughter, she said she was feeling a bit shaky and as a Type 1 myself I panicked and checked her bloods . But honestly wished i hadn’t as when i saw the reading i panicked so much

Thank you . Definitely puts my mind at ease. I think i May just over analyse things and get myself into a panic at times

Oh wow that is low. Wonder why this happens? I just worry more i think with being diabetic myself.

I have no idea why it happens, I were diagnosed with RH before turning diabetic. Haven’t had any problems with hypos after I started on insulin.

I think there is so much we don’t know. But well seems like it is possible to get a hypo even if you’re not diabetic :)
