[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2402494, member: 480869"] What’s a medical conservative in this context please? Very rarely will a type 2 have a hypo let alone one that leads to unconsciousness unless on certain medication to control the diabetes. So this is an important factor to consider. Like all physiological levels there is a normal range taken as an average of many people. These will be a variety of more and less perfect to borderline unhealthy specimens usually too. Some will naturally fall at one end of the scale or other and possibly a little outside and it be their personal normal. So yes I suspect a small amount of variance in what is a good natural normal. That all said is comfort about the here and now immediate physical sensations “. In which case as I’m not on medication I am not concerned about hypos. If I hit an 8 or 9 I definitely know it. I get very sleepy and sluggish. It’s rare I do go to those numbers though. Or is comfort the level I’m happy to be at for the long term implications? In which case my answer is under 7 pretty much all the time (measured before and 2hrs after eating) and ideally when fasted as close to the 4’s as I can manage. (I sadly don’t manage that but that’s what I’d be happiest with) [/QUOTE]
