I'm T2 so don't go that low and it would scare the bejeebus out of me. Do the symptoms of low BG wake you up?

I can appreciate that, I don't like being high. Thank you for explaining, I regard myself as still new to all this and the differences between the types of diabetes.
 
6.8. Fasting until 2:30pm, when it went up to 7.5. wasn’t an intentional fast, but I now have enough data to show that I need to eat early, unless I am fasting for more than 24 hours.
Tricky, sneaky condition this is.
 
Hungry isn't something I feel when my BG is low. That's usually a sign that it is higher than it should be. The numb, powerless and shaky applies to my low BG - also eyesight getting "odd" (dark, almost tunnel vision and not able to focus on anything), but not sad.

I am tired most of the time but is that high BG, or just usual for me? When BG is very high I feel a bit odd, maybe dizzy or light headed, and hungry, but none of those other things

What's normal? Not me for sure, never have been in any way,

Hoping to get my FBG down to 5 or 6. but not often succeeding.

I'm type 2 and have had 3.4 twice in the space of a few weeks and it is a weird and horrible feeling and yet some type 2 seem to be ok with numbers in the low 3's
