[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2034912, member: 345386"] [USER=505057]@Agnes14[/USER] - Whilst I am not T1, I have used several Libr sensors. Without exception the Libre night time traces prove evey day I am a walking miracle, in that I either live at 2.2, or quite simply Lo, according to the Libre traces. Have you ever tried testing during the night, if you wake, or conversely waking yourself at 2 or 3am and doing a finger prick test? For me, the Libre has been useful in identifying trends, but less useful in identifying absolute numbers. I am very slight, with very lean arms, and I have asked Abbott is this impacts on the Libre performance. It allegedly doesn't, and I guess bearing in mind it is authorised for your children with even less arm fat than I, due to their size, if nothing else, I suppose I can buy that. I think I simply lie on the sensor and the lows are either compression lows, caused by the pressure on the sensor, or it gets very hot, and that impacts things. Of course, my reaction, aside from a little disappointment has virtually no implications, but for a T1 a true low obviously has far greater implications. Would this be an opportunity to do some basal testing, along with some finger rprick testing through the night? It could be quite enlightening. I'll not comment further, as I'm sure some T1 Libre users will have much more useful suggestions, in terms of yourr medication and next steps. It is very annoying though! [/QUOTE]
