@bkh And we might get half that response? But it also does depend on the starting BG and the time of day. Sometimes it is not very precise - more of just like - throw something at the LOW and see what happens. Trying to bump up from 100 to 120 is pretty easy. But trying to go from 40 upwards can be more difficult. But then other times it can be easy. ---

> [@Thomas](#): > > But trying to go from 40 upwards can be more difficult. For me it’s easy. I count “50” (pops a glucose in mouth), “60” (eats another) “70” (eats another) “80” (eats another) “90” eats another, and “100” as I eat the last one. I can count by 10s even when quite impaired, and lucky for me it just works. ---

I am Jelly. It would be so nice to be able to manage that way. OTOH, that is a bunch of calories. ---

> [@Chris](#): > > OTOH, that is a bunch of calories. Indeed. That’s part of the reason my BMI is 25 now instead of the 23 I enjoyed a decade ago. ---
