Is they no dangers in wanting to go lower wallycorker?
Firstly, I'm a non-insulin dependent Type 2 on metformin and diet only. Also, I do not suffer from hypo' symptoms in any way whatsoever that are obvious to me.
As regards whether there are any dangers in wanting to go lower then, quite frankly, I don't know. However, personally, I have absolutely no concerns about taking my blood glucose levels to those found in a non-diabetic person.
What I do know is that there are real dangers in running blood glucose levels too high at levels where mine used to be when my HbA1c was as high as 9.4%. Most of us are well aware that such levels put diabetics at risk of all sorts of health problems - the most serious of those being heart disease, eye problems that can lead to blindness, amputations, kidney damage that can result in dialysis becoming necessary etc, etc.
Even relatively minor problems and symptoms have all disappeared since I have lowered my blood glucose levels - and some of them I hadn't even recognised as being connected with my diabetic condition. All I know is that they aren't those things aren't there any longer - e.g. thrush, itching, getting up in the night to go to the toilet, night time cramp in the calves, pins and needles in my hands and forearms etc, etc.
Personally, I'm a great deal happier now that my blood glucose levels have become consistently lower. In fact, very, very much happier!
