[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2632082, member: 101136"] Meeeh, personal experience.. using a 3rd party app with L2. It’s spot on with the meter within appropriate range & even when high. Hypos, however.. but there is a long lag it could read up to 45 minutes low.? Where as the meter will put me back in the “zone” after treatment. & that can be a few minutes after I feel OK. My theory is the brain’s cognitive takes priority as it waves the “white flag” first, the interstitial fluid level representation in my arm has to wait in line… Hence the “lag.” My meter is my guide after a low. But then I’m still fully hypo aware… I find the algorithm of the L2 pretty good at giving me a “heads up” with the prediction. This lowering the severity of a hypo, even when treated.. [/QUOTE]
