After treating a hypo when do you start the 15 minutes hypo check from?

[mum2westiesGill]

Do you start counting 15 minutes from when you've finished your hypo treatment?
or
15 minutes from when you first start eating the first piece of hypo treatment?

How much of a time difference are we talking about here?

Just the 15 minute check following a hypo treatment

I think Bruce means, just how long does it take you to treat a hypo? In my case, about 10 seconds to shovel in a couple of jelly babies and chomp them!

Roughly the same ie about 10 seconds but maybe a bit longer to have have some dextro and much quicker if I have the 150ml of coke

I don’t think it really matters whether you wait exactly 15 minutes or 14 mins 45 seconds, that small amount isn’t going to make any difference. Your meter should show the time of the first test so we usually just wait until it's at least 15 minutes after that.

I just test 15 minutes after the BG test told me I was hypo. My BG monitor is an Accu-Chek Aviva Expert so alarms after 15 minutes but I don’t know if other BG monitors do

Thanks @Sally71 that's what I will do in future. There is actually a reminder alarm on my meter but unlike the Accu-chek Aviva Expert which as @Lily123 says alarms automatically after 15 minutes you have to set the time yourself.

Message to Roche please get your Accu-chek Mobile meter updated so it alarms automatically after 15 minutes 🙂

I think you might be able to change it in settings for the alarm. I’m not too sure. My Aviva Expert is now discontinued so hopefully they might update the Mobile meter

I've just tried it but the volume even on the highest volume is not very loud at all - come on Roche it's time to get this meter updated please 🙂
