[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1854626, member: 41816"] Don’t worry. 3.8 isn’t a dangerous hypo. You would have to drop a lot lower than that to experience any risk. Type 1 diabetics are told to treat a bg reading of 4 or below because they usually have injected insulin working which could be driving the blood glucose down further. Non diabetics routinely experience blood glucose in the 3s with no ill effect at all. I am going to sound like a stuck record here, but if you routinely reach for sugary drinks and carby snacks throughout the day to keep topping up your blood glucose, then all you will achieve is a high/low/high/low rollercoaster that will make you feel dreadful. Get off the rollercoaster by eating good, sustaining meals and snacks based on protein, heathy fats, above ground veg and [B][I]minimal[/I][/B] carbs. [/QUOTE]
