Food for thought

Thank you for your comments. I've never felt anything physical I could ascribe to high or low blood sugar so my sole aim is to prevent my BS from rising above my target (7.8) and avoid cumulative harm. My libre tells me that in 11 days I've been above target 2% of the time. One episode was caused by a slice of Mrs Deejay's granary toast with butter.
It also says I've been below target 15% of the time, that is between 4 and 5.1, always at night. What does concern me a bit is that almost every morning at about 6am (when I'm asleep) I'm below 4 for a few minutes. And on one occasion for more than 15 minutes, triggering a low-glucose warning. Since I'm asleep I can't get any specific readings but on an enlarged picture of the computer graph it looks like high 3s.
This is sort of off topic but the thread has opened out a bit.

This often happens with my Libres. I think some of the very low readings are because I may be lying on the sensor. Are you using the Freestyle reader or a phone for scanning? If you have the reader and the software on your PC you can export all the logs to your PC and see exactly what levels you were at any time.

Well done on the 2% above target, that is wonderful.
