Thanks for your reply. I currently rely on finger pricking only, but if I am low I am usually heading lower I have found (when I do drop, it does seem to be like a stone) so thanks for the tip - I currently have jelly babies as a hypo treatment so I'll probably just have a couple of those as a hypo interceptor; thank you!

I use JBs too, and they are easy to eat ‘in part’ where necessary (head or legs if 1/2 needed!!)

It sounds like you have got your head round how you can head off lows, and adapting the choices you make according to your Bg. The sensors give more information and if you go on to use them they will give you a more accurate picture of what is happening.
