It was sub 50 once. My ex is a full blown insulin diabetic since she was 6 so for 15 years I learned about as much as you can about it.
Glucose levels that low will kill you. Took a month for the gastro side effects to go away. I'm back on Januvia after proving to the insurance I couldn't take Ozempic type drugs.

I know why people lose weight, they can't eat! Yeah its some scary stuff. They need more research, especially the gastro side effects. There are forums full of people like us that this stuff nearly killed.
