Living low...?

[MinimedPumper07]

Do any of you live constantly with low blood sugar, like 50-80 and not mind at all? I was just watching this video and thinking maybe being low all the time wouldn't be so bad.

The only problem is that the numbers you usually run at become your baseline and start to feel pretty normal after a while (which is why there are millions of people with a BG of 250-300 who just feel a bit tired and have no idea what is going on).

If you live down at those kind of numbers all the time, you run the risk of becoming hypo unaware as you have no buffer zone; if you sail that close to the wind, the wind can blow you off the edge before you realise what is happening and a hypo can go from being a mild inconvenienve to something rather less pleasant...
