Type 2 When to stop

I have type 2, no meds. I can go under 3, and even faint. For some reason my liver only kicks in after a long time. My GP knows about it and has witnessed it happen. Bodies are weird and all different.

And your doctor said that’s normal/common?

So as you know I hate being in the 4s. Usually feel lousy. So I’ve been trying to force myself to stay in the 4s for as long as possible to make myself get used to them.

I’ve been in the 4s now for about an hour.
I’m currently 4.2.
I’ve had one of my hot chocolate which did nothing.

I’m hungry but determined to stay in the 4s.

But at what point do I need to eat something?

Any thing in the middle or low 4's and I get shaky can't concentrate and feel like **** around the 5 mark ( when I can achieve is fine for me )
 
Likewise. Throughout my whole life I have had trouble regulating my blood glucose levels. If not fed at regular intervals I become hypoglycemic - anxious, irritable, shaking, irrational, nauseous. It has been a bit of a standing joke! Since diagnosis 5 years ago I have been careful to have 3 low-carb meals and a snack in the late afternoon. I can become light-headed and nauseous if I don't do this and have been close to fainting a couple of times.
I don't subscribe to the oft-quoted ' you can't have a hypo on Metformin'. I can and do if I don't eat enough.

I think there are far more types of diabetes than the medical profession say. I read of the wide variation of reactions to diet, drugs, exercise on here from type 2's and feel sure we may have the same umbrella diagnosis, but there are different ones within that.
