[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1750965, member: 185674"] Just checked the technical specifications behind the trend indicator arrow on the Libre Meter: [B] Straight arrow: BG is changing slowly (less than 0.06 mmol/L per minute) Arrow going down: BG is falling (between 0.06 and 0.1 mmol/L per minute) Arrow vertical down: BG is falling quickly (more than 0.1 mmol/L per minute)[/B] So for me not to catch a severe hypo coming along in time would take a very severe fast drop in bg per 10 minutes. I will try in the weekend to measure what the fastest drop I will experience is over a 10min period after taking my highest dose which is a 5 units bolus at breakfast. Per my own ratios it should equal a 15mmol/L drop in total, but that is typically stretched out over a 1.5-2.0 hour period for the bolus effect curve, so don't expect to observe an unmanageable drop over any 10 minutes period of time during that period.
