Did you feel it like hypo symptoms?

Amazing blood glucose level to reach!

I felt slightly wobbly, not a hypo though. I am not on any meds so it can't go much lower than that (though I did have a 3.1 once after a brisk walk home from the pub - booze inhibits release of glucose into the bloodstream).
