Just tested before bed and meter says 2.8 that is the lowest I have been, so taken a biscuit and wandering if I should go to bed and take a biscuit with me, and test later. To see what number I 'm at. Tnks
 
I should Donald. I wouldn't even get in bed until I get safely above 4, TBH. Was there enough instant carbs in that biscuit to work quickly enough? Test every 15 minutes, if it hasn't worked enough after 15 - treat again and repeat until you get there.

Thanks Jenny I'll go to bed and take something with me and read a bit and keep testing.
 
Hope all was OK Donald, do you think it might have been a rogue test strip?

Hope it went well last Nt Donald. Life at times is not easy. The lowest for me was 0.8 & I was aware what I was doing. You do enjoy your bickies when that low :D

Yikes , glad you’re here to tell the tale
 
thanks all Alan I should have tested strait after to see if it was a rogue strip but the mind turned off so did not think right. The next test was 8.1
so could have been a duff strip.

A good example of testing before you drive ?
