[QUOTE="Aj1981, post: 2639840, member: 579871"] [USER=533931]@domoboy[/USER] Great post, I have experienced similar with my Freestyle Libre sensors. I have been using them for over a year now, I do find them very useful with their updates so get real time info of where my BG levels are. However, I have been slacking on using the finger pricking, as I should do it bit more, especially at night time. I tend to have a Hypo every other night around 2am-4am. As I am in bed, I just scan the sensor once it sends the alarm for the hypo, then I just grab my Lucozade or chocolate then fall back to sleep lol Few weeks ago, I did see that the Libre was showing 2.8mmol, but when I used the finger prick, it showed 5.6mmol, I did not feel any symptoms as I do when going into a Hypo, so I did not take Hypo treatment, just wrote a note on the Libre app so I can refer back to it if needed. I am trying to be good and use the finger prick at night when the sensor alerts me of a Hypo, so think best course would be to do the finger prick and go with the reading the machine tells us when having a hypo, instead of the sensor. The sensors are a good addition and support in our T1 journey, but the finger prick will always provide us with the correct reading no matter during the day or night, especially if you are unsure or questioning the reading from the sensor. Hope you have a wonderful holiday!! [/QUOTE]
