[QUOTE="therower, post: 1798879, member: 47983"] [USER=298460]@mancview[/USER] . I suspect your DSN is suggesting a CGM ( continuous glucose monitor). A libre in its bog standard form needs to have the reader flashed over the sensor to give a reading. If you don't flash/ scan then you get no information. Whilst asleep the libre wouldn't be able to tell you anything regarding your bs levels. A CGM more pricier but the sensor continually sends information to a receiver. The receiver records and logs the data. The receiver as the capability to sound an audible alarm once certain levels are reached whether they be low or high. Whilst asleep, if you was to drop below the bs setting you had set an alarm would be activated to warn you of an impending low. The alarm continues until you take action to correct the warning. It's not all bad news with the libre though. Some clever guys have pimped the libre to work as a CGM. It needs after market add ons but seems a great device when set up. I'll tag [USER=374531]@Scott-C[/USER] he is the go to guy for this kit:) [/QUOTE]
