I've posted my libre 2 readings for the past 3 days. I seem to have episodes of hypoglycaemia. Do these patterns mean anything?

Those lows are just below 4 on your graph, normal for non diabetics.
Did you confirm the lows with a fingerprick?
Did you have symptoms?

I agree with @Antje77. Dropping down to 3.5 mmol/ls is relatively normal and nothing to worry about if you are not on insulin therapy or you are not taking blood sugar lowering medication or you are not suffering from low blood sugar symptoms, headache, sweating, feelings of doom or panic like attack sensations, confusion or agitation. Your liver will usually kick in with a glucose correction. The other thing is Libre can be less accurate at lower blood sugar readings and likely your blood sugars were 4 ish. Check with a finger prick though.

If it's normal that's all I need to know--thanks so much,!
Thanks both. I can't find my fingerprint at the moment but will check. I initially went to the doctor in July as I had two near fainting episodes and episodes of palpitations. I'm now wondering if these were hypos. It was awful. She told me I was prediabetic (HBA1c at 42 with two tests a year apart.) I'd been tested previously with similar issues a year before and also with blurred vision coming and going.. However, I'm on a lowish carb diet now and no longer prediabetic. Not had these symptoms since but vision still changes a lot. Got this libre trial for 2 weeks over Christmas and will see what happens when I eat more carby meals.
