[QUOTE="Kazzabling, post: 2146130, member: 514965"] Hi, ive been using the Libre for a few months, and im not shocked by the results but it can be a bit concerning sometimes how long levels take to drop again after some meals ie it can take more than 3 hours on occassion. It has however given me some very useful but concerning info also which i am grateful for which is that i can have a low sugar for 1.5 to 2 hours whilst i am sleeping and i dont wake up . I will bear in mind what one user has said ie that if you lay on your sensor it can register a low sugar, but i dont put much pressure on mine when i lay down really as it is tucked very slighly towards my under arm to hopefully avoid knocks. Also upon waking . . eventualy lol and i treat the low i get the slighly higher expected result on the libre which implies i was 'actually' low. However next time it happens it will confirm the result with a blood test also. I am fortunate that i seem very tolerant of lows at night i never even wake up a right shaking mess, but i am concerned it is not good for me and brain etc tbh so i will be mentioning it at my next review [/QUOTE]
