[QUOTE="annliggins, post: 2291590, member: 178678"] Hi there... i was diagnosed 11 yrs ago. My comfort number is 7 ...if i get to 5 im panicking and go for the J.b. i had a bad hypo years ago and havent got over it. .. my alarm is set for 6.5 so if my actual BGL is less i catch the hypo. Annoying at 4 am when alarm says 6.5 but BGL is 8 but it has been 4.5 .. so as long as im safe thats fine for me . Btw HBA this time 53% time in target 80% so im doing something right! Carry on how you feel safe and keep safe , my consultant said dont go any lower you obv risk hypos the lower you go . Happy days. Keep those hypos at bay, keep it simple try for under 10 , dont anxt about it all if youre over an odd time . If i can do it playing safe ... you can . Low numbers scare the hell out of me ...some people like to skirt around 5 ... everyone finds their own happy place. . Dont beat yourself up trying to keep low . It can be a scary tight rope just my op , what works for me might not work for you. Just thought id share . [/QUOTE]
