[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 174004, member: 20775"] I think Jen mentiones pretty much what I am about to. I have noticed that I can get the feeling of a hypo if my sugars are dropping quickly. Have had it before where I have felt odd, tested to find I was high. Tested 20-30 minutes later to see a drop of around 4+ :shock: My attitude now is to treat that sort of thing as a warning and do the tests I would if I had just treated a hypo just so that I know what direction my sugars are going and how fast. Doing this I have actually headed off a couple of hypos early before now. I think this is the single biggest problem with a finger prick test. It doesn't give you the full story. Are you ok and dropping, high and climbing, what? It is only half of the information you really need. Roll on research in non-invasive testing I say, then hopefully we can have continious monitoring without the extra holes or expense. Cheers A [/QUOTE]
