Some people would have severe symptoms at 55.
30 years of being a diabetic and only 1 hospital visit because of it. I had a 20.

Dr. Oz also spouts pseudoscience or outright quackery in more than 2/3 of his pronouncements  .
However, everyone does hang out in a slightly different area. If you ever check your labs, "normal" is the baseline normal value for 95% of the population. That woman could be part of the five percent who runs low and is ok (my heart is like that), but it's always good to remember the averages and consider your symptoms. In the OP's case, if he's feeling symptomatic and it's happening more often, ingesting about 15g of simple carbs will benefit him.
