Hi all
Normally, my levels are pretty stable and not too much rise and fall. However, when I changed the Libre sensor earlier this week, it jumped from a reading of 4.8 to 7.7 within the hour, for no apparent reason. It’s been stuck up at raised levels since. Obviously, I’ve checked blood readings, as I do so as to know if sensor is within similar range etc, and I was horrified to find it was pretty-well spot on!!!
I’ve considered dehydration, particularly as it’s been so hot here, but that’s not improved it much, if at all. I had an ear infection/antibiotics almost 2 months ago but surely, if that was going to affect my glucose levels, it wouldn’t take all those weeks to show a difference?
I feel well enough, apart from feeling very fed up with this, in spite of not changing anything I have eaten.
Can anyone suggest why this should be happening, please? It’s really getting me down. Motivation is hard enough (hence the Libre sensor) without this happening
Many thanks
