This is what I call a "crash" and to me, they feel different. I can tell when my BG has just been dropping slowly or when its a more rapid decline.

Sounds like you're treating it right - the 'ol 15-15-15 rule! When I am that low, like the 50's, I usually Tx with 2 choices right away, figuring that 1 choice = about 50 BG points, so I wouldn't be hugely over the top if it rose 100 pts, KWIM? And again, I can usually feel if I am crashing and if I am going to drop lower before I feel better.

Hope you snap out of it quickly!!
