[QUOTE="Westley, post: 2652146, member: 254425"] Hi [USER=289056]@Ricku2[/USER] Many of us find the Libre tends to exaggerate low readings, and I'd trust the finger prick number over it (though that also has a margin of error). If you're diet only I don't think occasional readings of 3.4 are anything to worry about. For those of us on insulin they give us this 'keep 4 the floor' guidance and define anything below that as 'hypo', but that's more because they're worried about us losing warning signs then in the future it going much lower. I've also seen <3.3 or <3.1 given as the hypo threshold for non-diabetics [URL]https://bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-gb/509[/URL] [URL]https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/11647-hypoglycemia-low-blood-sugar[/URL] [/QUOTE]
