[QUOTE="tigger, post: 1517796, member: 11023"] Although it's scary remember it can take 45 mins until you're back to normal and longer sometimes depending on how low you are. Try not to get stressed about it, it does make it worse. Remember that the cgm has a time lag of about 20 mins, the meter of about 5-10 so your real blood sugar is already lower. Therefore when you see you blood sugar drop further within 5 mins of treating all it may be doing is showing what you were 5 mins ago. Treat with the amount you normally would (taking into account IOB if any) wait for 15 mins well away from food as you'll want to eat and eat and then test again. Remember different remedies do act at different rates. I'm a juice fan but a lot of people on here swear by lucozade as they say it acts faster. How long have you been diagnosed? If not long it's possible you're in the honeymoon period. Otherwise there are all the usual unplannable reasons e.g. hormones, weather, stress...... Well done for handling it well and I hope the rest of your day goes better. [/QUOTE]
