[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1955972, member: 93504"] When James used to test regularly, he would sometimes get readings below 4 in the late afternoon. There was nothing the matter, it's just the way he is. I believe it's not uncommon for this time of day to produce the lowest readings, whereas first thing in the morning can often be high (dawn phenomena). Your meter may be set to show "Low" below a particular figure, just as they show "High" above certain levels. "Low" would be a warning to someone on insulin to do something fast. As long as you aren't on insulin or a drug that stimulates it (and you are a normal, ordinary, run of the mill T2), your body will soon bring your blood sugars up. I'm assuming you feel fine.
