So what is your lowest reading?

0.8 :shock: Either the meter was bust or I was lucky. I don't know how I was still conscious. I had been shopping in B&Q with my young boys while on a camping trip. When I got in the car to drive I thought I felt a bit off so I tested. I gave my keys to my son, who was somewhere between 4 and 6, I don't remember exactly (he's 26 now), and said 'Don't give those back to me until I do a test and it's over 4, no matter what I do or say. And if I pass out, dial 999'. He was very good and knew exactly what was going on because mum being hypo was perfectly normal to him as I was diabetic long before the boys were born. I think it took about half an hour to come up enough to be safe, with the aid of a Ribena carton if I remember rightly. That is what I used to use in those days: full of glucose syrup that doesn't need processing at all before it's absorbed.
I still suspect it was a false reading, but I don't know because the readings over that half hour showed it coming up gradually, starting in the 2 region after the first little wait. Go figure. Has anyone else been
that low? And stayed conscious to boot?
Am I guilty of one-upmanship here?
