[QUOTE="fletchweb, post: 1576676, member: 318202"] With me it's the 4s but I generally test myself a few more times after that to figure out if my BGs are dropping or just leveling out. Usually they're just leveling out so I take no action and try to keep my levels in the 4s for as long as possible but there are times - usually brought on by exercise where I will test 15 minutes after my previous test and it becomes obvious that my BG levels are still dropping. That's when I counteract it with a snack, but let me tell you - for most of us there is a delay between where your levels are at and when your brain says - "okay I'm feeling better now". This causes over-compensation which just makes you feel worse in the long run. For me it took a while to figure out how to best handle low BGs without causing it to go very high, you basically have to ignore your instincts and validate where things are by testing again.
