What is the reading for a Hypo?

It's getting rather sneaky now, I've found that i don't really notice any symptoms at all until i get a slightly foggy feeling and i mean slightly. and then i test and i'm 2.7!
it's getting a bit scary now. what other symptoms do other ppl have? there may be something i am not picking up on.
i know everyone is different but you never know there might just be that one thing to help.

I actually found that last night (we had a bit of a drama at home) and i got really upset, almost too upset ya know? so before bed i thought i would test and yip a 2.5 popped up. so maybe that is another sign?

It's really rather confusing now. i mean i am spot on with my control and i never see an 8 on my meter anymore. but this sudden dropping is doing my nut in. one day i can be perfectly fine with my doses but the next it can drop me really fast. Same food, same dose, completely different reaction. (I'm talking my breakfast doses)
 
Pregnancy stops you feeling the symptoms of hypos... I've been down to 1.3 without any symptoms of a hypo when pregnant with my daughter. Only tested as I was about to drive home from work.

Hi!

Yes the question i never thought i would ask! I remembered it this morning but i've forgotten it now.

I am feeling rough as they are still dropping my sugars into single figures and my body is really not liking it.

I can't remember if it is UNder 5 or under 4 i should do something about my sugar level eg eat something.

I'm pretty my having all the symptoms of a Hypo at the moment but thats only becuase my body wants the sugar. I just keep getting confused.

i'm at 5.2 at the minute (My best ever reading)

Sorry for being a pain i tried google and looking through the other threads but i jsut got confused.

Help
i read the other day that it might be possible for some to have naturally high without having diabetes i use insulin type 2 and i still get hypo at about 5 so i wish that some research would be done to confirm this
