[QUOTE="Deleted member 527103, post: 2722216"] Does your BG rise or does the heat of the shower affect the readings from the sensor? I ask because I notice a spike on my CGM graphs when I have a shower. This is a true spike - up and back down again. If my BG really rose, I would need insulin bring it back down again so have concluded that the spike is a CGM anomaly, If you are showering as soon as you get up and your Libre is showing your BG rising and staying there, it could be a Foot on the Floor response - liver dump of glucose to start your day.
