Julie: I do not know about Type 2 Diabetes. Just

what I have grown up with..Type 1--I use

Insulin--no pills. Yes, I can get that low

and lower, even into a convulsion. It can

go past convulsion...(if the person has taken

too much insulin, hasn't eaten enough food,

has done way too much physical activty, etc.

It has to all be balanced out.

Your Doc told you to eat 5-6 meals a day, with

snacks in between? Have you been doing that?

If not, why not? He wants to see if this will

work to keep your sugars level, probably.

Well Julie, it is not normal to feel scared in

in your own body. So I don't think that sugar

level is normal No. I've never asked a normal

a Normal person. I've been Diabetic since I was

3 years old so I surely don't remember. Just a

minute...if a normal person doesn't eat most of

the day, his sugar level will get quite low. But

the brain will detect this and signals the liver to

send out sugar (which is in storeage there) to the

rest of the body. If a normal person doesn't eat for

T guess several days then the sugar storeage in the liver

will run out and then the person will Kaput. Or something

like that. Ask Mary-Frances about that she is more

intuned with the technicalities.

Well, they have been saying between I think 80 and 120 for

Diabetic is good. And a Diabetic is supposed to be as

close as possible to a normal person. But I think a Normal

person should be able to reach 65(don't quote me)with no problem.
