[QUOTE="SimonP78, post: 2663465, member: 556474"] I can, yes, though in order to prevent a compression low I tend to either shove the pillow under my shoulder so my libre is not compressed or stick something (scrunched up duvet) under my elbow for the same reason. I do observe things in my overnight BG trace that indicate I've probably rolled over and have lain on the sensor for a little while but I guess I must move around as they don't ever last particularly long/set off any false alarms. I do now sleep on my back more often than I used to before I had a libre. I certainly wake up that way these days even though I go to sleep on my side. OTOH perhaps that always happened and I never used to pay it any attention. The libre is comparatively small compared to the omnipod, so I'd see what users of that system have to say - it must be possible though. Going back to the question of children catching it, mine were very quick to remember that I didn't want them to swing on my upper arms, or at least not without checking which one was out of bounds.
