[QUOTE="AMBrennan, post: 229281, member: 37697"] That's exactly why I have a problem with DAFNE - you have a clever theory, quite possibly based on correct biochemistry or whatever, and value that over empirical evidence; remember that this attitude gave us medical advances such as bloodletting, bloodletting and even more bloodletting (because physicians had a theory and didn't bother checking if their treatment was working). In your calculation, you assume that your BG is stable when you measure it (which you can't know since you can't retest in 30min because you have to treat now); whether this is true will obviously depend on the cause of the hypo (e.g. high bolus or basal?) but you can't assume that since you evidently don't know your BG patterns well enough to prevent hypos.
