[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2077749, member: 468055"] [USER=85785]@Lamont D[/USER] Interesting, I’m quite intrigued by how RH is triggered and wondered if things like protein or in the OP’s case, caffeine could trigger a drop. Quick derail: “supposed to be” and “what is healthiest long term” can be two very different things ;) Traditionally they’ve advised people on insulin to run artificially high in order to avoid hypos. My combination of very low carb diet and resulting tiny doses of insulin (I rarely take more than 2u at a time) mean hypos are much less likely - and when they do happen, they come on very slowly so I can treat them before they become a problem. The tech I have gives me ample warning, my watch buzzes if I hit 4.3 so I can make a decision to treat or not. Most times I just turn my pump off for half an hour and that sorts it. [/QUOTE]
