Just wonderful. I activated a new Libre yesterday (pre-soaked for 20 hours) and woke up to it trying to convince me I've been hypo all night and 3.5 on waking. Finger stick told me 5.6 (which is wonderful in itself). According to the stupid thing I've been in range only 38% of the time in the last 24 hours and hypo the rest of the time. I may have dipped to 3.7 at some point for a few minutes but definitely not longer or lower, which probably means I've bean in range for 99% of the time, should be making me very happy
But it doesn't, really, as I have my yearly date with the internist in 6 days and I'm afraid I'll be explaining away the Libre hypo's for most of the short 10 minutes I get.
I could opt to not show her the Libre data, as I'm self funded so she'll only get to see it if I show her my phone. But then I'll have to convince her that I'm not having hypo's all the time without the proof from Libre, as I expect she isn't used to seeing hba1c's like mine (not sure what it is yet, but I expect it to be 38 at the highest, as that's what it was a year ago, and if anything my control has gotten tighter).
Anyway, this useless anxiety is the reason I've requested to be seen only once a year. Everything is just fine on the diabetes front but this anxiety for weeks before an appointment doesn't do me any good, so once a year is more than enough.
At least I'm lucky that my diabetes doesn't seem to care about stress
And probably all will be well anyway as she seemed very nice when I met her. So I need to 'just' stop worrying
edit: Oh, the easy solution of course is to make a picture of this post and show it to her. That way I'll have it explained in a minute, including the stupid anxiety, leaving me 9 minutes for other things!
Hello Ilse, nice to see you again
