you have lost your hypo awareness, under 3.5 isn't good for anyoneWe're still told anything under 4 is going hypo (Canada), personally I don't feel it till I'm around mmol 2.5 or 2.3 (I've hit 2.1 n not known it once).

I was told anything under 4 too. Sometimes I start feeling it around 4.8, I have got as low as 0.8 without feeling it, 2.8 seems to be my average for realising something is up
I've wondered the same: certainly any hypo I've had since cutting the carbs has been much milder than any one I've had on high carb western style of eating. However I've also noticed that ie often felt shaky and sweaty, thinking I'm hypoing, and tested only to discover that the bg is like 8/ 9! I'm very new to the whole diabetes thing though so I guess it takes times to distinguish pseudo hypo from real hypo!!Hmm... Interesting @bellabella - I'm high fat, medium carb... And have also wondered if the high fat blunts the low feeling...?

@smidge - you said something about higher carb and insulin use = more sudden drops... currently I'm "medium carb" - around 100g a day - and my insulin is between 2-4 units of novorapid with meals... does that mean I'm 'less likely' (as much as we can judge these things) to experince very sudden drops...?
