I was at my sister's house today and she was showing me the results of her bloodwork she had to obtain for Life Insurance. Of course I zeroed in on her cholesterol, LDL, and bloodsugar. Her cholesterol was 129, lordie, her LDL 76 and her fasting bloodsugar was 71. When I am 71, I run for a snack even if I feel okay, guess next time I won't go into panic mode. Oooo I think her cholesterol is good because of genetics (mine is good too), and the fact that she does not eat red meat very often. Karen  |

Wow, your sis had great test results! I don't run for a snack until I get into the 60s. Suz |

Great numbers...I can match her cholesterol, but only on medications <sigh>. As for treating lows, Karen...I'm sort of like Suz, but a lot depends on where I am and what I'm doing. If I'm out and about and not really close to meal time, I'd treat a 70 with maybe 5-10 g carbs. If, on the other hand, I'm really close to eating (half hour at home or already at the restaurant if eating out) I wouldn't bother to treat a 70. I'm extremely exercise sensitive, so if I'm out running around and I hit 70, I know I'll go even lower soon. The other time I'd treat a 70 is if I'm going to be driving. I refuse to drive if I'm below 90-100, and even at that level I'd not drive if I've just been doing any kind of exercise. I passed out once while driving and do not EVER want to repeat that experience! Ruth |

The thing about a blood sugar of 70 is, is it going UP or DOWN? I always assume it's heading lower, and I'll treat it, anything in the 70s for that matter. Ro Type 1 43 yrs. |
