[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1759235, member: 459333"] No, I still haven't tried a Libre. It's on my horizon when I get some spare money. From many many experiments however I'm convinced that I don't ever get a liver dump during the night. Sometimes within an hour or two of waking up, but never overnight so far. That includes the 2 times I've 'bottomed out' - I wake up with a 3.9 - my body seems happy to keep me at that low level until I get up and do any real moving around. I haven't got high-tech scales, that's also on the cards when I get some spare money! I did monitor my stomach at the widest point, and it was definitely expanding a month ago, in line with my weight increase. I haven't measured my stomach recently as I've lost the tape measure - I must look for that! Also, while I wasn't counting calories in the sense of restricting them, when I realised I was putting on weight a while ago, I remembered what I'd eaten over the previous few days and totted things up, and it was definitely an excess of calories, so I've definitely been 'eating enough'! I'm pretty sure that's the nub of the problem - balancing the increased exercise with not over-eating as a consequence. [/QUOTE]
