[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2365329, member: 53162"] Hi Straw, I have the same issue with the Tandem Slim and Control IQ using the G6 CGM, what the system doesn't have is the ability to prevent hypos in time, particularly if there is too much insulin on board already, the pump system wouldn't cause the 2.7 hypo. So in theory it isn't the pump/CGM causing the hypo but it could be from too much insulin, exercise, heat, stress etc etc. I think it is a mis conception that a pump/CGM system will prevent hypos though. They certainly help with time in range which is vital as an indicator to improving control with t1. My approach would be to follow up with a carby snack after quick acting glucose treatment and allow the pump to correct then, generally with hypos the liver will also produce some glucose too and at some point later on this will be restocked from glucose in the blood which can cause a second dip, that's why treating the first one with carbs say a digestive biscuit will help to prevent the second dip.
