Hi, I woke up this morning, and my reader showed two major hypos overnight. I’m certain these were pressure lows as I went to bed last night without any rapid-acting insulin on board. My basal dose is correct, and has been the same for many months.

How do you deal with pressure lows? I can’t even toss and turn freely without getting one. The sensor is attached to the side of my arm.

Hi,
I found that inside the arm works for me to avoid that sorta thing?

But then i wake from hypos anyway. so any lows on the sensor has been "legit."

Like @Jaylee, I place my sensor on a part of my arm that I don’t lie on.
I know some people favour one side when they sleep so always put their sensor the other side. This would not work for me because I need to bed in a sensor for a couple of days before activating it.
