Billy has Type 1 Diabetes.
Billy wakes up at 4:45 in the morning.
Billy looks at his blood sugar on his CGM: 6.4mmol/L.
"That's fine" thinks Billy, sleepily.
Billy is about to go back to sleep but he realises that his blood sugars are dropping very slowly: 0.1mmol/L in the last 5 minutes.
So thinks Billy still more than half asleep..
"If I drop 0.1 every 5 minutes will my blood sugar drop below 4.0 before it's time to get up."
Billy is good at arithmetic but "NOT AT 4:45 IN THE MORNING!"
