[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2372051, member: 451727"] I agree with hopeful above with regard to myself but the problem can be that that 3.8 could be 15% even lower, or sinking very fast etc. I know that a 3.8 for me responds well to a banana for example (at home) but again it depends on where I am at the time and what I'm doing. If you are feeling the symptoms strongly I would err on the side of caution and treat with the 15/20g of fast acting carbs all at once. Again it really is down to the individual knowing their body (which is a challenge) because sometimes hypo symptoms can be 'false ones' because you're not used to figures in the 4s etc. It's complicated of course but if you can, resist the urge to grab everything in panic, check after 15 mins by which point you will probably have risen...but not always! x [/QUOTE]
