[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 349291, member: 11028"] As your 3.8 readings are just once or twice a week you need to look for a possible explanation why you reached this level, were you more active than usual after your previous meal, perhaps you over-calculated the carb content of your food, forgot to snack, might just be you need to tweak your insulin doses, as a rule and without stating the obvious postprandial lows are a result of too much insulin or not enough carbs. The basal/bolus regime that Angie mentions above is a far better option and gives you the flexibility to eat what you want and when you want, in other words you can decrease or increase your insulin to suit the carbs in your meal.
