Hi ivmy2boys,


Does your Accu-chek have a User's Guide.

I don't have the Aviva model but yes, accu-chek monitors can be set to indicate when a reading might be hypoglycemia. It's possible that when you re-set the time that the indicator got turned on as well even though it may previously have been turned off - OR you may never had a reading low enough to trigger the hypo message. Whether you tested before or after lunch, 70 is a REALLY low number.
