[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2437966, member: 372207"] Thank you for answering Ronancastled question, as I really didn't remember why or how I set those lines years ago! :hilarious: I don't use LibreView often, if I do it's mainly to have a quick overview of how much insulin I've used to know how much to order. Or to try to find a pattern in 'high insulin need days' and 'low insulin need days', so far without result. That graph also decided all by itself I go to bed at 10 and I eat at 8, 12 and 6. Don't believe it! On my phone app I change my goal depending on how much my diabetes is willing to play fair. I like to be within my chosen range around 80 to 90%, so I can easily see by the colour change where I might improve something, which doesn't work when it's either all green or all red. For alarms I use DiaBox instead of LibreView, mainly because you can calibrate DiaBox. Currently I have the high alarm at 6.3, because I like to be alerted early so I can make a decision on correcting or waiting a bit longer before I am too high. If I'd only correct at, say 9, it would mean staying at 9 and likely rising more for at least two more hours before the insulin has got it down again. Last week I had the alarm at 6.8 because I had one of those weeks where I kept rising. No use in having an alarm go off all day. Occasionally I set the alarm at night at 8 to be sure of undisturbed sleep unless something really strange is going on. LibreLink tends to read lower than blood for me by between 0.8 and 2.0 mmol/l, so it would alarm for hypos all the time when I was in the high 4's and 5's, and it wouldn't warn me until I was close to 8 on the lowest setting of the high alarm. It also means this line at 7 in my screenshot is closer to a line at around 8.3, thanks to Libre not allowing calibration. This is also the main reason I won't give my team access to my LibreView account, all those hypos-but-not-hypos would likely make my DSN very nervous. [/QUOTE]
