[QUOTE="RoughcutAU, post: 2689158, member: 552779"] Welcome to the club nobody asked to join! Alot of good advice has been given already. It certainly is a rollercoaster ride at the start but the more you do it and practice the easier it becomes. Just don’t beat yourself up when you make a mistake … this condition is alot of trial and error and doesn’t play by the rules. Like others mentioned everyone is different and try not to benchmark yourself against others too much. To answer the hypo question I still function perfectly normal in the high 3s even though they say “4 is the floor”. I will try to have a snack or avoid alot of activity before I do just incase. Like many I find my CGM tends to overstate lows - so when the alarms sounds i will double check with fingerprick. I generally don’t feel a hypo until i am sub 3.4mmols which is rare and may happen once a month or a couple times a month. [/QUOTE]
