Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 2011488">A few (more) things to consider - Our bodies take up to 24 hours to get used to having a foreign object inserter. Therefore, the first day of readings is less accurate. For this reason, quite a few people insert the Libre and then wait until the next day before activating it- Libre (and other CGMs) suffer from "pressure drops". If you apply pressure to the sensor, they can report very low readings. This often happens at night when we rest on it in our sleep. For this reason, I take little notice of an unusual Hypo in teh middle of the night that I recover from without waking. I tell myself if I see it happening on a few consecutive nights at around teh same time, I will set an alarm to check what is happening with a finger prick. For me, it is not repeatable.</blockquote>
