Thank you x I've spoken to my GP (he's who referred me to the MH services, who then referred me on to health and wellbeing ) and we've changed my antidepressants from sertraline to citalopram and seeing how it goes. Had a huge mh crash on Sunday, which I put down to my period unexpectedly...

No experience with it, but best of luck! I saw your libre/LO posts the other day and kept my fingers crossed you'd find a fingerprick monitor that works for you x

Yep, I get this too. Normally nightmares about being out and about and not having insulin with me, weirdly enough. The most recent one was dreaming I'd gone to Glastonbury and someone nicked my tent with all my diabetes kit in it.

Always check your low libre readings with a fingerprick, as you can get false low readings with a CGM.

Thanks @debs248 and @Hopeful34 I think I've got the transitional protection bit sorted out now, just waiting for them to deal with my housing element. Still beyond not managing the D word. I've got a constant background worry that if my basal's wrong then everything else is going to be out of...

If you use the libre phone app rather than a reader, could you post screenshots of your graphs instead, or alternatively (if you use a reader) screenshots from the libre view website? Not sure I'd be comfortable putting login details for anything onto a public site.

Did you check with a fingerprick test? You can sometimes get false low readings on a CGM.

Not sure about other brands, but libre can give you a reader device if you don't have a compatible phone.
