[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 623582, member: 102150"] "In the event of a hypo, take 15 grams of fast acting carbs. Wait 15 minutes, then re-test." I had: Adrenergic hypo warning. Confirmed by CGM 5.4 dropping. Meter test showed 4.5 To stabilise me over the next 8-10 minutes took: 12 glucotabs x4 gCH = 48 gCH 2 Mars bars = 62 gCH Half a bottle of Coke = 27 gCH So a total of 137 gCH in under ten minutes. The first eight minutes were worsening toward critical. The last two minutes were stabilising but not out of the woods. CGM was showing a down trend the whole time. Take15 gCH and wait 15 minutes to retest? I'd be in a coma in the back of an ambulance right now, instead of writing this. Rule of 15, my ****. Who comes up with this *****? [/QUOTE]
