[QUOTE="slimtony, post: 545644, member: 32192"] Hi, I think the exact figure for a "showstopper" will probably vary from person to person. You also have to bear in mind meter accuracy. The figure according to Wikipedia is anywhere below 0.55 mmol/L. At a level of 1.8 I wouldn't personally bother with things like bread and honey (unless it's all that's available), but would stick with the big hitting glucose gels and tablets. This way you deal with the immediate problem of needing glucose now, while also limiting the problem of post-hypo highs caused partly by any slower acting carbs taken to treat a hypo showing up too late.
