| | | Over 1200 that is what the dr's or hospital meter would only read up too, so I was over that.....when diagnoised
And under 20 or LO, that is all my meter would read.....so i have been both ends of the dangerous dangerous spectrum and am living to tell about it LOL....

| | | I was dx in 1945 so I have no idea what my BGL was then. I know it was off the charts (if there were any charts then???) I had all the classic symptoms of T1 for several months before I was dx.
I was diabetic for about 40 years before glucose monitors were sold. After using the monitors I have seen a high in the 500's and a low in the teens. The ambulance crew pulled me out of the low and I signed papers that allowed me to stay home afterwards. I was OK the next morning. I have had many lows in my past before the glucose monitors existed.
The info above says I am T 1.5. That is incorrect. I am T1. How do I change that?

| | | Well when I was diagnosed my blood sugar was 55.5mmol Closest I've came to that was about 30mmol a year later.
I've never had a super bad low that needed medical attention (knock on wood).The lowest my meter has ever read is about 2.0mmol. |

| | | 560/31.1 the day I was "Caught." It had been nearly 6 hours since I'd eaten at that point.
Not sure what the lowest was since I checked at 20 minutes after having about 20oz of Coke, but at that point I had crawled back up to 52/2.8
