That is too low for a blood sugar. Anything under 60 should raise an eyebrow. Have you been seen by a doctor?

2.3 on what measurement? I highly doubt that's the common mg/dL measurement (which paddington is talking about), cuz with 2.3 I'm certain you'd be dead.. It seems that the measurement is mmol/L which would be more realistic, but 2.3 is still pretty low.. Most healthy adults maintain fasting glucose levels above 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L), and develop symptoms of hypoglycemia when the glucose falls below 55 mg/dL (3 mmol/L)

In most people, subtle reduction of mental efficiency can be observed when the glucose falls below 65 mg/dl (3.6 mM). Impairment of action and judgment usually becomes obvious below 40 mg/dl (2.2 mM). Seizures may occur as the glucose falls further. As blood glucose levels fall below 10 mg/dl (0.55 mM), most neurons become electrically silent and nonfunctional, resulting in coma.

I get hypo easily. Even when totally OFF and clean. I MUST eat something every 2-3 hours.
