I think it depends on how fast your blood sugar is dropping. It
wouldn't do at all for a drop of 100 in half an hour (yes, I've had
them), but would probably work fine for drifting down. One of the
major reasons I want to see real-time monitors--not so much the
current level as how fast it's dropping. Remember that simply
turning off the basal takes around an hour to take effect. Glucose
tabs on an empty stomach take 15 minutes for most of us.
