[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2348901, member: 475037"] Under 2 and it potentially could end up having lasting effects, How many times or what kind of effects from what numbers, I don't think there is a conclusive set number. Even in the 2's isn't recommended to ever be in, that can happen, but it should be a rare event. I have never been not in control or lost consciousness, but dropping that low could cause that. And by the time you digest even a quick acting sugar, it still takes time and you could drop lower. You don't want to hit those numbers. If you are hitting those numbers you need to adjust your basal and/or your I/C ratio. The problem I believe is that you are in your honeymoon period I think? So it's better to be at higher numbers for now to safeguard for when your pancreas decides to help. Do you have alerts? Or just a regular Libre? Miao Miao can turn the Libre into something with alerts and I think Bubble might be more popular nowadays, I'm just not familiar with it. There is a new Libre with alerts, but I don't know when it is available to you. Also the problem becomes, while certain levels aren't "dangerous" your sensitivity drops when you are low a lot. To raise the sensitivity back to a higher number, you have to stay at higher numbers for a while. Hypoglycemia is officially below 3.9 (70) in the US for the medical field. My DE, Endo and Dexcom device officially consider a dangerous level below 3.0 (55). I just aim to not go below 3.6 but have an alert set at 4.4. This only works because I have alerts, before my Dexcom I aimed for a higher number as I didn't like to drop below 5.2. Personally for me I don't worry if I hit 3.0 (55), I just get aggravated that I did and it messes with my time in range and luckily I am rarely at those numbers.
