[QUOTE="azure, post: 1500829, member: 39639"] I like clarity too :) But I'm ok with these guidelines. 4.8 isn't a hypo, but the advice is simply to be above 5 to drive to allow for the meter margin of error and to be extra safe. So if I was 4.8, I'd 'top up' with a small amount of glucose/carbs as needed, then test again after 10 mins or so to make sure I was Ok then drive. If I felt the 4.8 was totally unexpected and Id been expecting a 10.8, then I'd think about whether I'd made some carb counting or other error, and I i felt I had, I'd eat some more carbs. If I felt something was seriously off, I simply wouldnt drive until I was sure that my BS was stable and around 6. [/QUOTE]
