Since Sunday evening my bloods have been running very low for me with my daily average going from around 8 to 4.7. I've been unable to raise hypos and have not had my usual post meal spikes!
Saw the midwife today and all her checks were fine luckily.
I'm using the freestyle libre so decided to test using my finger prick. Libre said I had been having a hypo of 3.2 for almost 2 hours which I was unable to raise however finger prick said 6.5! I suddenly realised I change sensor on Sunday before all this started so could be a dodgy one. I replaced it this afternoon however the same low readings are occurring but this time more in line with finger prick readings!
Has anyone had any bouts of lower than normal readings and if so, did you have any reason ie illness, issues with baby etc? She said as long as baby is moving like usual she's not worried about placenta failure or anything sinister but it's just very very abnormal for me!
