Novopen 6 confused

What is your low alarm set at @corriefan? I wonder if you would be better setting it a bit higher so you can prevent a hypo happening rather than have to treat it once it has happened. So for me, mine is set at 4.5 and if my alarm goes off I have 1 jelly baby if the arrow is level or sloping downwards and 2 jelly babies if the arrow is pointing vertically down. I don't need to stop working I can just chew on my jelly babies and continue.

You should keep your hypo treatments on you at all times. Your post sounds like you had to leave to get them but perhaps I am misunderstanding?
