[QUOTE="cugila, post: 114894, member: 15325"] Welcome to the Forum. 3.2 is a mild hypo, so wouldn't have needed much to bring you back up. It would have been the juice which would be a fast acting carbohydrate which had the most effect. The Mars Bar is the old school advice, that has been superceded and is not now recommended. It would just stabilise your levels after them being raised by the juice. The recommended treatment for any hypo is fast acting carbs until the levels are more normal, test every 15 mins until that is achieved then a small carby snack, possibly a Mars Bar or a sandwich. A Mars Bar should never be considered hypo treatment in the first instance, and certainly not if you or anybody else is having a severe hypo. [/QUOTE]
