[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 537386, member: 102150"] I agree with you. The adrenalin response (when it works) is more sensitive and more accurate than a meter. The meter is taking a static value of peripheral blood that is delayed vs arterial blood and is subject to various errors. The adrenalin reaction responds strongly to the drop rate of blood glucose, not just the absolute level of blood glucose. In the face of hypo symptoms I trust the symptoms over the meter, if they conflict. If nothing else it's better to be safe than sorry. [/QUOTE]
