Nowadays I don't feel them until I'm 3.x, or occasionally low 4's

For someone who is non-diabetic, do they feel the low? It seems amazing to me these days that so many people without diabetes bang on about how they have to maintain their blood glucose levels, and avoid the low mid morning dip etc etc....

Yes, a non-diabetic can experience a hypo.

We've tested Lauras BG before when she's had symptoms of a hypo and her BG was low.
You dont have to be diabetic to have a hypo
