[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2114329, member: 372717"] Be aware that the libre can be very inaccurate, particularly at night. You don't say what kind of diabetes you have, but it's common for the liver to dump sugar anyway in the morning, called the dawn phenomenon. I'd recommend setting an alarm clock for the time shown to give you a hypo by the libre, and testing with a meter. The libre often reads low at night, particularly if you lie on it.... And if you set an alarm, remember that libre readings lag 15 minutes behind blood sugar readings, so set it for 15 minutes earlier than the hypo time. [/QUOTE]
