    How much time do you spend having low blood sugar (<4mmol/L)?

    I have found this thread fascinating and helpful. I spoke to a nurse yesterday who looked at my phone app for the Libre.

    Morning Numbers Are Higher Than Normal

    Thanks, wow that is small amounts. I am on 14 units of lantus so much more and average 8 units of rapid. I have been told to watch out as they will rise, maybe it is that. But I am also not well, I hate not knowing what the hell is going today but other days I am chilled and all is fine!

    Morning Numbers Are Higher Than Normal

    Thanks, I have been more stressed and iller than this, without higher readings. Maybe it is just one of those bugs! I have been sleeping, meditating, having relaxing baths and just this morning felt worried. Guess I just need to be more patient!
