Thanks for your response!! so sorry I didn’t reply I got caught up with exams and travelling etc! Unfortunately I’m still having this issue, but maybe my answers can help. Yes I’m currently using the libre with the miaomiao sensor to use it as a CGM, but I don’t think the drop is a pressure low...

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice. Every night before bed my blood levels seem to be on the good side, at around 6-10mmol. Then once I do my basal and go to sleep, it drops in the night. I’ve tried eating a little before bed, but sometimes I still drop. If I eat more...

Hi there! Recently my mum found this on a website because they said they were launching something in the next month or so, maybe their finalised iPhone app? I was wondering if you were still using the bluecon and if so, how it's going?

Haven't had experience with yoga but playing any sport in hot weather (30 degrees +) seems to result in mine falling off. I've been using rock tape however I find even the tape can start to peel off sometimes if I have a super sweaty workout. Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the advice! I am currently on the libre and starting to correct more but I do think a switch to the dexcom would help a lot!! Hopefully I'll be able to purchase one soon!

That's an amazing reduction!! I've been no lower than 8 for as long as I can remember, any tips on lowering??

Thanks a lot BeccyB, I'll look into the DAFNE course and see what I can do with my current doctor. Here's to hoping things start to get back on track!

Yes I'm looking forwards to meeting with a new team and hopefully adjusting my method. I've been on the libre now since October last year, if I'm honest I'm still not sure what all the graphs mean but I know that my averages are quite high so I've definitely got to do something, just angry that...

Thanks!!

Thanks for the information. Can I ask what the low hypo alarm is set at?

Being on the libre I test all the time whenever I walk past my scanner so around 10-15 times a day. Unfortunately after reading more on these forums I think I've been doing everything wrong from the beginning. 11.3 as you mentioned wouldn't be considered high in my opinion. I've sort of assumed...

Yes as you've explained this doesn't sound like what I've been taught! I've always had a set Bolus and adjust that based on my levels (e.g if I'm 8 or below I do regular, and every 4 points above 8, I add an extra unit. So basically if my normal is 12 but my blood sugars are 13 I would do 13.) I...

Interesting! This is the first I've heard of this product (and even this concept). Any idea what the new MARD percentage is?

Thanks so much for all the information!! I'll look into it a bit more before I buy but for something that has an endless life (asides from batteries that need changing) it might be worth investing in and retrying with multiple sensors as for me the price doesn't seem too bad.

I just finished my exams (IB not A-level) and I had the exact same experience!! I do however try and stay on the high side during exams because I'm terrified of going low in the middle and everyone seeing me checking and eating! Have you ever gone low in an exam?
