Your sugar is 65, are you happy?

[iDream]

Just want to see opinions on this number.......

[Jeannie]

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

[xMenace]

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 ;)

[cheryl]

I voted it depends, out and about **** no, at home, or waking up in the morning yea, it is fine.....especially if I have treats to eat LOL>..

[rzrbks]

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.

[pjams]

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.

[2high]

No thanks!! Tho its better than the 446 / 24.8 i woke up with at 4am...

[notme]

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

[howdysf]

I don't feel comfortable unless I'm about 75-78 or above (I mean, physically, I feel fine, just for my own concerns, I like high 70's

[Funnygrl]

Happier at 75-130.

[EasyType2]

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...

65! I'd be on the floor! I crash @ 80!

[DVDBear]

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.

[Tabhill]

I don't feel low sugar till its actually in the 30's...I've been quite lucid at 42 and came out of a real problem at 26 (with the paramedics asking me who I was...i laughed and asked them what they were doing in my house??!! 65 is a good level. Funny how different we all are...

[CaptDave4499]

Im happy if my sugar is 265! Never been 65 though.

[someone]

I don't like being under 70, however, I'm fine with a fasting glucose in the low 70s.

[ant hill]

If I were at that 65 / 3.6 I would needen't panic as I would have a jelly bean, Even if it's at a meal time I would bolus and eat emediatly!!.
However, If i see a lower reading then I would be concerened.
So for bieng happy, It's not so bad at 65 Mg/dl as I would take an appropreate action. :)

[shabbie6247]

like many here 65/3.6 is a little too low for my liking. before a meal isnt too bad, i'll just delay my shot until after my meal.

my premeal Bg should be between 4.5 and 5.5 (81-99)

[Cyborg]

I'm fine at 65 as long as I'm not driving... :vroam:

[RLK]

Depends....
I generally feel fine at 65, and don't feel "low" until about the mid-50s. How I treat a 65 depends on what I'm doing, how much active bolus is on board, and how close I am to a planned meal.

[DeusXM]

Whether or not you feel low is irrespective. Your BG isn't supposed to go below 4mmol/l (72mg/dl) because of basic biology.

[MJB]

I've never measured 65.

I hit 66 fasting once and immediately freaked out and ate a piece of cherry cobbler. :cool:

[iDream]

Yeah, I really like 65. Its sort of my threshold for low/what I like (65-80). My GCM average so far for today is 68, I've basically been between 65-70 all day, including school and gym and running a mile. Nice.

[sweetblood]

no...id rather be 165 than 65...eeeek!!

i feel drunk when i drop into the 60s ...get real sleepy and uncoordinated...do NOT like that feeling at all
