[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2336673, member: 451727"] Hi there, I wouldn't wait until it gets below 3 even if you have had ice cream. That's taking an unnecessary risk. Don't forget, the libre is 15 minutes behind your actual glucose level so when your libre shows 4.7 and dropping, it could mean you are ALREADY hypo, please do a finger prick test. If it's now steady in the 4s, then I would still eat say 15/20 carbs especially if I knew I was going to be active right then by walking around. The ice cream will be fat as well as sugar so that could take a while to kick in. To sum up, (unless your finger prick test shows definitely not hypo & rising), eat a carby snack which you will no doubt be able to walk off anyway. x [/QUOTE]
