[QUOTE="docphi, post: 2466060, member: 549194"] Low is in the 80's. Once in the 70's. Confirmed with finger stick. When I was first diagnosed in August, I was having false hypo symptoms in the 140's. My A1C was 8.6 so average glucose was 200. I've been using the CGM to float my blood glucose down gradually. Now I can tolerate in the 115 range. I haven't been able to get lower yet, but, it's a step forward. I don't really see that liver response in between meals. Every time I try and hold off eating, the blood glucose goes lower and lower and then I bail. However, my glucose holds steady overnight as soon as my head hits the pillow. And in the morning there's a liver dump happening so the liver is capable it's just confused during the day. Lol! Doctors will tell you your risk of hypoglycemia as a T2D on no meds is the same as a non-diabetic. They'll also tell you Metformin can't make you go hypo. They're wrong on both counts. [/QUOTE]
