I note it says don't drive under 4 (as did the old one), and if under 5, take a snack (as did the old one). So, we can set off on a drive as long as it's over 4 (having had a snack). However if we check during our drive or two hours later and it is under 4, we stop (quite right) and have a snack. Then we are stuck until our levels go up to 5. Well that's me stuck on the side of the road for ever and a day then as my levels are often in the 4s and stay there and if I am under 4 and eat a snack, even that only takes me up into the 4s in 20 mins or so. To force it up over 5 I would have to eat more than a snack. I wonder why they have kept the start of the drive to 4 but the midst of a journey to 5? I suppose if you are hypo (under 4) and your snack only takes you to over 4, they are worried it might drop again?</p></blockquote><p></p>
