[QUOTE="youone, post: 545481, member: 109525"] Hi seems we where put on the omnipod about the same time, myself September 9th 2013, I've been a type1 since 1971 so coming up to 43years, which has given me some experience with hypos although we are all different. The government as in the DVLA state that you can't drive if your BG is below 4 Hence a hypo is anything below this and action should be taken ammediately My self would take 1 CP of QA carb in my case Fresh orange juice this would push my BG up between 2 - 3 mmols so in this case I would go up to 6 or 7 If as in your case 1.8 I wud take 2 CP doinging a test after 15 - 20 mins then have a meal taking bolus depending on BG I've found with the omnipod PDM metre gives a low reading to all my other metres usually about 1mmol at about 6 increasing to 2 difference Above 6 so I always re check with a 2nd metre. Even after all the recalls I'm not happy with the PDM metre hence I re check any result that I think is out, In your case even with the difference I said you where serious hypo yet you could correct yourself although you gave yourself to much correction which made you high very high which in itself can cause The pwd to over correct and then go into another hypo I use the sum 1CP or 10g carb increases my BG by 2- 3 I don't need more than 2CP which is easily controled Did you find out what caused the unusual drop? Note all my opinion's are my own and I am not a DSN although when I look in the mirror I see someone who as more knowledge than my GP [/QUOTE]
