So on my second Libre 2 sensor now and one thing that's become clear to me is that whilst the Alarms are useful there are times when they're not. I've set my range quite tight (to account for the continued drop/spike after the alarm is triggered).
The thing is the Libre has always been sensitive to sudden events, e.g. Bolus Insulin beginning to work, Exercise, the initial spike from food. So I find I have to disregard alarms around those events.
So generally I wait until 75mins post meal before I take the alarms seriously, with exercise I always blood test when I get an alarm just to be safe. Do any of you do similar? If you don’t, why not? Do you just give yourself a wide target range?
