[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2688782, member: 372207"] Happy to get back at you tomorrow, it's very much bedtime around here. But I will answer this one quickly: I do not walk home at 3.3. I sit down right wherever I am, even if it's on my bottom in the mud in the pouring rain, treat, and wait for treatment to do its job. Walking (or any other activity) uses the glucose I'm ingesting to treat the hypo. It will take a lot longer for the hypo to resolve if I try to keep doing what I was doing, not worth the risk for me. I still make the occasional mistake though, I'm not a saint! But in general, a hypo below 3.6 equals stopping whatever I'm doing and treat. Here's the last time I ignored my own rule, didn't feel very good: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today-low-carb-forum.75781/post-2687233[/URL] [/QUOTE]
