Could someone tell me how low you should be before eating a snack? I heard 70 but not sure if that's correct. Thank you for any information 😊

Thank you Graham 😊 that's what I'm trying to avoid not over eating if I'm like in the 80s cause i get nervous seeing it that low so i want to eat something

Just don't overdo it

The guidance is to eat about 15 carbs worth of something faster acting - 4oz of fruit juice (apple or orange) is sufficient, and then re-test in 15 minutes

You don't want to blow yourself up by wolfing down too much
