| | | Not at all happy at 65. At this point I'm usually getting shaky and not feeling my best at all.

| | I'm happy I'm not 165. If I'm in bed ... I'm not happy. If I'm driving home in rush hour traffic, I'm not happy. If there's ice cream in the freezer, I'm happy  |

| | | Nope, because if I'm at 65/3.6 which way am I headed next?
Up or down? More than likely down and I do not like being below 85/4.7, not a good thing at all.

| | | I will take 65 any time!
Today 90 minutes after lunch it was 40 (6 units of Novolog b4) So 65 looks good to me.

| | | That would be 3.1 mmol/L and I'd be shaky and not feeling great. No. I wouldn't like it at all. |

| | | I voted yes because rarely do I feel 65. I usually feel low when I am in the low 40's. |

| | | At 65, I know for sure I better get food in me fast. Any time I drop below 70, it's like falling off a cliff, and I can be a trembling pile of lard in the floor within 15 minutes.

| | | I eat for anything under 4.4 (80) if I still have insulin working.. if I was 65 and a meal was imminent, I would not feel too worried.. if I was 3.6 and hiking I would be 'DRAT!" and scoffing my orange.. I like to catch it before it goes below 4 for best results...

| | | Pretty much like many of the other answers. 65 is not comfortable . . . . anything under 70 starts the ravenous hunger and the shakes. If it's right before I was going to eat anyway would be the only time I'd be okay with it. |
