My lowest was 1.1 (20mg/dl) - a very scary number to see on my meter, but I actually didn't feel that bad. To be honest I've never felt that out of it during a low. I was really surprised to say the same after being that low though!

Like others have said, sometimes I feel absolutely shocking in the low 4s or even 5ish. Other times I don't feel a thing even if I'm quite low - until I test of course, and then once I've seen the meter the symptoms come on!

I think it has something to do with the speed of the drop, and maybe whether the liver is involved or not. Also I'm less likely to feel a low if I'm concentrating hard on something.

I generally don't see a lot of lows - at least, nothing major - because I test so often. I don't know what happened with that super low low! It was an overnighter too. Freaky :s
