[QUOTE="Richard F, post: 1157887, member: 157040"] Sometimes it just happens and sometimes I understand why (usually a mistake/miscalculation) The worst one was a couple of yrs ago, out on a walk, no phone reception, 2 miles from habitation. I sat down took some glucogel then some more and some biscuits, checking my sugar every few mins. Watching in horror as kept going down and down and down no more glucose with me. The lowest point was 0.8 and I was still concious, I even changed the cartridge in my meter in disbelief. Eventually it came back up after 30mins it was 3, so I started walking slowly, feeling very rough, took me 45mins to get home by which time it was 4.5. (Then I had a lie down for a bit :) ) Scary stuff, I couldn't work out what happened, never happened quite like that since (thank heavens) but I'm very, very careful. [/QUOTE]
