[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2313930, member: 101136"] Hi, 6.9 is normal. However, BG meter's take a snapshot in time up to 20 minutes prior? So the "6.9" could have been caught on a drop. (Or just before one.) Some people panic with meters when actually low. They test five minutes later & sometimes see a further drop then cram more carbs? There is a "lag" with BG monitoring some forget, resulting in possible over treatment of a hypo.. Some CGM systems lag even further behind a meter on the rise from a low, too.. I highly recommend you invest in a meter. Understand how to get the best out of it. (Possibly order a Libre sensor & download the app to scan with your phone.?) Log these events & symptoms you have & see a doctor. Best wishes from one T1 who believes hypoglycaemia can happen to a "norm." (I've seen it & asked first if they were on any meds.) [/QUOTE]
