[QUOTE="Luke2, post: 2680001, member: 585537"] Wow, incredible responses. So so glad I’ve joined this forum. My libre tends to be about 1 higher than my finger prick testing, apart from when I’m low. At this point I’m pricking my fingers like a mad man haha. When I change the sensor, I think I’ll do a few more finger pricks those days! Interesting about the pressure on the sensor at night as well, I’ve had a couple of times where the alarm has gone off ‘levels going low’. I do tend to sleep on my arms and I haven’t felt a hypo. In these situations I’ll definitely be finger prick testing (which I have been doing in a hypo situation). I’ve been testing about once a day for ketones, I think I’ll stop this now as it’s always within a normal range. I’ll save them for if I go really high! Additionally, I feel absolutely incredible in comparison to five weeks ago (pre diagnosis). A lot more energy, less mood swings, extreme hunger and thirst has subsided as well. I’m so glad I went to the doctors when I did. Sometimes, I wish I’d gone earlier, but you can’t live in regret. So much to learn, and this forum is a fountain of knowledge. Thank you :) [/QUOTE]
