If this happens again Hale I would try to get a pump. Although pumps are not briiliant all the time, once the basal flow has been adjusted to suit, most hypos are only mildish and are easy to rectify.
I use the freestyle optium - thanks Smidge

The closest in the magazine is the Freestyle Optium Neo and that reads down to 1.1 and up to 27.8

Yes, I had two of those , one scarily when I had just been riding a bike.
I'm sure that had something to do with me being offered a pump!
I had my first reading of "lo" today
I knew I was hypo, I didn't realise I had crashed so hard.
So looks like the rest of my evening will be spent try to get rid of the taste of the lucozade (boke) and nursing my post low headache
Hope everyone else has had a better day!

If you are diet only what are you balancing?Hi there I knew I had been in Hypo for a couple of days bouncing up and down trying to find a balance, my doc told me
Never to check my bloods as I'm diet only, just borrowed my
Mums old kit and it says 'low' I guess that result will stop the guess work out of my evening! X
Where did you hear that?If this happens again Hale I would try to get a pump. Although pumps are not briiliant all the time, once the basal flow has been adjusted to suit, most hypos are only mildish and are easy to rectify.
Um, that post was written about 4 years ago.Where did you hear that?
I have a pump and whilst I get less hypos than pre-pump, the ones I get are are certainly not all mild ... unfortunately.
I've used several different meters and never had them give me a number less than 2 (and yes, I have had lows!), so I think it depends on the meter...I'm sure (but might be mistaken) that the lowest reading on a bg meter is 1.1mmol/l then after that it reads LOW, either way it's still a shock to see that on your meter so hope your OK now hale.
