  Hi, I’m just finishing my first week and I was hoping that someone could advise me how low is ok for our blood glucose to go. What should I be aiming for over the next few weeks (and rest of my life!) What is “normal”?
  Thank you for reading.

  Hi Margot
  a lot depends on the time of day you are testing.
  Fasting readings will normally be a bit higher due to the dawn effect but realistcally you should be looking for sub 7 fasting and 4 – 5 pre meal.
  That would put you into normal ranges.
  Below 4 is getting close to hypo territory so just keep an eye on that.
