[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1402866, member: 88961"] [USER=310285]@welsheagle[/USER] - I regularly have low numbers, and sometimes quite a bit lower than you have experienced, with no ill-effects. I started to see those sort of numbers a couple of months, post-diagnosis, as I started to get to grips with my way of eating. I've never felt unwell at those levels, and never having taken any medication I have no fear of anything sinister happening, to me. My body looks after me. Since then, I have gone quite a bit lower too, although I have usually been about to eat, and when very low, as well as being about to eat, I have usually been very hungry, so I just crack on and enjoy my meal even more than usual. If I feel that ravenously hungry way, but dinner isn't about to appear on a plate, I would have a cup of tea, just with some milk, to just tide me over. Not everyone sees those numbers, and some folks do feel a bit odd/off if when they are low, so everyone has to really judge it for themselves. If, however, you are concerned about it, it would be worthwhile just seeking the reassurance of your nurse/Doc or whomever helps you with your diabetes. If you feel unwell when low, then do have something to eat or drink, but I would discourage you from reaching directly for the biccies or sweets and that can lead to a bit of a yo-yo reaction, with a higher than desired rise, then a rebound down. For those taking string glucose lowering medication would want to act differently. Hopefully, you're going to have a decent outcome from your efforts. [/QUOTE]
