[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1327939, member: 101136"] Hi, Sorry, I picked up on this old "scenario" regarding a test showing low despite adequate treatment. Then over responding? We've all had it.. What's happening is the meter reading due to the flow of blood around the body, is a "snapshot" of anything up to 20 minutes ago. A sort of delay? (Bit like those tedious TV satellite link interviews with someone on another continent?) So you may be treating & the fast acting carbs are taking effect. A 10 or 15 minute test later may show no rise or even a slight drop. This can be worrying in the event & symptoms of a hypo. Leading to further treatment & ultimatly "overkill".. [/QUOTE]
