[QUOTE="evilclive, post: 1888975, member: 488171"] I think it's a fairly common thing to be told. It's a good recommendation, so worth doing, but I think it's also worth knowing that eg you weren't actually driving illegally at 4.7, so no need to panic, just deal with it - like you did. Had you not eaten, and it dropped to below 4, then you would probably be on the wrong side of the law. Re what to eat - I think that thread was a bit based on children. It all depends on how severe the hypo is. If it's proper crash, shaking, etc, then worth going for the glucose based stuff - jelly babies for me, glucose tablets or lucozade for others. But if it's a gentle descent which needs a correction, lots of things will do, so I may as well have something I'll enjoy eating. But I'm an irresponsible grown up who is theoretically allowed to make my own choices :-) [/QUOTE]
