I must have been woken up by Libre 2 alarm 4 or 5 times last night!
I set the alarms for low glucose 4.0, and high glucose 9.5.
Again today, I had a snooze, early afternoon, and the alarm went off at 3.9 (apparently), but within about 7 minutes, it read at 7.2! I don't believe it!
Some here have mentioned pressure readings, and I was resting on the arm that has the sensor on it, so I am wondering whether that influenced the 3.9 buzz?
It's often the case, I have noticed, that went I am lying down, BG goes lower, and when I stand up, it rises, so that could be another factor?
Its interesting too, that the graph looked more like a reading of around 5.0 mmols, than 3.9 in the obvious dip...
I had a series of different readings following the 3.9: 5.7, 6.7, 7.2, 6.6, 6.1, 5.9, 5.9, 5.3, 5.7, 5.9 . My sense is that the measurements became more accurate, the longer I was upright?
Any comments on these observations?
