[QUOTE="SussexDave, post: 2146175, member: 250182"] Dear Kazzabling, I have been in exactly the same position as you describe. When I started using the Libre I experienced all the things listed by you and the others above. I experienced low BS readings during the night, sometimes more than once, I didn't wake up and became alarmed. I sometimes also had low readings before dinner (lunch to dinner is usually the longest period I go without food during the day. None of these were picked up by finger pricking as they were transient. Like you I did not think these lows were healthy and now ensure that I don't go too long without food and that my BS is reasonably high before bed. I agree with others that although there may be some differences between Libre and finger prick readings (not surprising as one measures levels in blood the other in interstitial fluid) but the information given by continuous monitoring is much better than relying only on spot checks and is key to maintaining good control.
