[QUOTE="d302q1, post: 2384589, member: 503863"] I used to self-fund Dexcom G6 which was excellent, and set my range between 3.9 and 7.8 to try and keep it in the range of a "normal person". Got told off by the diabetic nurse that the ranges were too tight because I was skimming the bottom surface too often - which gave a awesome Hba1c result in a blood test but did result in a few technical mild hypos. You are depleting the brain of its fuel (glucose) in any hypo situation so I listened and accepted a slight relaxation of my range would do me absolutely no harm. I'm now on the Freestyle Libre 2 (with the alarms) and I've set it between 4.5 and 8.5 which works for me. Although I'm much more relaxed about it occasionally cresting into 9 or 10 so long as I know it's coming down straight away. I like barrym's suggested alarm ranges above if you are exercising.
