[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2434415, member: 527103"] How do you know you are having a hypo in the night? Do you get hypo symptoms or do you have a Libre which is reporting a low number? I ask because Libre (and any CGM) suffer from Compression Lows. This is where they falsely report low readings when pressure is applied. If you are diagnosing night time lows from a Libre, I recommend waking yourself (if you have a Libre 2 the alarms should wake you) and double checking your reading with a finger prick. If this is the case, you may need to place your sensor in a different position. If the low is confirmed with a finger prick every night for the last month, I agree with [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] that you may have too much insulin. Your diabetes team should be able to help with your dose calculation. [/QUOTE]
