[QUOTE="kev-w, post: 2244321, member: 452484"] I'd say not to trust the Libre for monitoring a hypo as it's telling you what you were 15 minutes ago or longer, always blood test on a dropping line under 4mmol, another suggestion would be not to lay down whilst waiting for the sugars to kick in but sit in a chair. Another thought is if you could afford £150 or so and buy a 'miaomiao, blucon or bubble' transmitter, these fit on top of the libre ( a pain but...) and use your mobile phone as a receiver with software to show you the readings, which using another piece of software (not too hard to use/do) you're able to see your mums readings 24 hours a day remotely. Also with hypos, I 'think' there can be two types, the fast one from to much fast acting/not enough food and the basal hypo which (for me) creeps up slowly lowering the O2 content of my blood slyly, and so if the two types coincide they can hit harder *my opinion, not a medical fact* and then add the possibility of the honeymoon period just for giggles... Oh and 'fitting' per se I think is 'just' part of the hypo as the hypo is a lack of oxygen in the blood thus depriving your brain of it, hence the danger, I've seen 1.8mmol on my test meter before but was functioning and conscious and aware of a very loud heartbeat throughout my body and was pretty scary.... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
