I don't think we are agreeing. What I am suggesting is that when T2s are high and feeling good about it, it is because our bodies have become accustomed to high BGs. We feel OK, but the high-BGs are killing us.

If we feel "nervous, anxious, shakey, sweaty and ready to hit someone" when we are in a 'normal' BG range then this is most likely to be a symptom of Diabetes and a body that's been running high BGs for too long - not a warning that our BGs are dangerously low - so I don't think it's wise to keep BGs higher to keep the feelings at bay.

IMO, once BGs are under control the 'need' for higher BGs will go.

YMMV.

Back on the OP's topic: You are also talking about blurred vision "when I get up to the 150 range too even for a few hours" .... A few hours?
