Have recieved libre yesterday for a free 2 week trial. I’m type 2 on trulicity 1.5mg once a week and had my last dose of metformin yesterday morning, all my other drugs have now been stopped including anti hypertensives. Was woken by alarm with 2 hypos overnight both 3.8, both resolved without me needing to anything, only symptoms were feeling a bit shaky. My question is would trulicity have caused this? I’m eating 30 -50 carbs a day.

I don't believe a hypo on the Libre unless I confirm with a fingerprick.

I wouldn't want to do without the sensor but it has its limitations.

Are they not as accurate then?
 
And, at night especially they can register low when you lie on them.
Being a t2 who only uses them for interest rather than necessity, I keep all the alarms turned off
 
Think I need to turn alarms off as well! Husband is getting cross! Mine keeps losing signal with phone, is this normal?
