DH sometimes has numbers in the high 60's. He uses the 15-15 method to
bring up his BG. 15 grams of quick acting carbs. Wait 15 minutes and
test again. If not back up to "normal" try another 15 grams of
fast-acting carbs and another 15 minute wait.

Fast acting carbs are glucose tablets, fruit juice, skim milk, regular
soda and other high sucrose things. A bagel is not a fast acting carb
and might just leave you a lot higher than you want to be.
