[QUOTE="Gemmablower, post: 835201, member: 162868"] Yes I think I saw something that allows you to prick the arm and thought that sounded interesting as was ment to be pain free. I have got a libre arm sensor and I might look at that but Zara hates getting it off! Cuz it's so sticky and had to do it with oil and water but it's good for checking what her levels are doing at night as it shows you in a graph form and you only have to scan her arm no pricking so she's oblivious. At 9pm I check every night but while her lantus has been changed since and the run up to it I have been doing random checks at either 3-4am. She was lower at 3am last night and was 12 when she went to bed on 16!! Which was to high but at least she is lowering through the night now rather than rising. I expected her to be lower this morn but it is the first morning and can take 3 days to kick in so she woke at 10 :-( expected a lower than that but she was high going to bed and woke up earlyier than normal and think that gives her a little rise. So when her bloods were good and was checking in the night with the libre it was a slightly different profile as her injection used to be at night and that really made her drop fast between 12pm and 4am and then she remained steady at 4am around 6mmol. Now she has it in the morning it seems to totally change the profile of the night which is why we moved it originally. It's sort of reversed it and she remains level between 12pm and 3am and then drops a little but still not exactly sure what's what yet got to keep checking for prob another week. I think you will find the book useful glad you got it. That's hard with a little baby, I can't imagine how hard it must be. What an amazing mother you must be x That's great you got the football routine sorted. I'm so happy for you, does he rise at all straight after excercise and then drop or just drop? X [/QUOTE]
